Can Someone Help Me?

I have some questions that I can't seem to find a definate answer to: Does the ingredient Malt Dastase (found in my digestive enzymes) contain malt or is it just the name? Is it the same as Maltase? The other question is: Do I need to replace my nonstick pans? They are not Teflon brand but have some cut marks. My dishwasher has a sanitizing cycle that I always use. Could gluten still be lurking? Same for plastic collander and storage dishes (such as Glad brand). Thanks so much in advance.

Good questions, though I can't help you...I have no idea. I was wondering the same thing about the pans and gladware. I hope someone has some ideas.

Hey guys,

I am fairly new to the whole celiac disease thing, but I posed the same questions to my daughters dr...

Yes, go ahead and replace the pans, safer that way.

As far at Malt Daltase goes....I checked the forbidden list from celiac.com and it wasn't on there...but I'll look it up again somewhere else...

Ok, a little research later...here's the scoop.

Malt Diastase is the same thing as Maltase...which is derived from ...BARLEY!!

IT is not gluten-free!!

Maltase is the digestive enzyme which breaks down maltose, a sugar. Maltase is not plant based, and is absolutely gluten free. Diastase is a more general term for a large group of enzymes including maltase, but also others which may in certain cases be grain based. "Malt diastase" is not a term I am familiar with, but I suspect it could very well be derived from barley. Maltose, the sugar, is also gluten free.

I asked this question awhile back and it was determined that malt diastase is in fact gluten free.

Here is that thread:

Thank you all so much for all of the helpful info. I'll be replacing those pans and have already purchased another digestive enzyme that is definately gluten-free :) --Patti

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
