I have personally tried these over the counter pills after ACCIDENTALLY injesting gluten and these pills RELIEVED MY GLUTEN SYMPTOMS!!! I am in NO WAY AFFILIATED with any sponsor or product involved. I just want to pass this information on because it worked for me. (And they're cheap, too!) Be sure and read the reviews. I cannot believe more people don't know about this. (I checked out all the medical links in the reviews, too!) If they work for you, please pass it on. Here is where I got mine:

I hope this helps you, too.

P.S. Please read the medical literature available both from pubmed.gov as well as the company (BIOCORE) making the product.

IF they can really help digest gluten, that does not make gluten safe for a person with Celiac to eat.  "Digested" gluten is still gluten.  The gluten is still in the small intestine and will cause the antibody response of Celiac Disease. It won't be destroyed before it gets to the small intestine.

Interesting. Curious on what makes this different from other digestive enzyme pills?
It could be beneficial for someone sensitive to gluten but not celiac.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but the problem with gluten for a celiac isn't that they can't digest it.......so why would enzymes work at all? Gluten is still gluten, even when our guts are healed and are digesting foods nicely, gluten will still cause the immune reaction......

I see you changed this. The original didn't mention " accidentally".

What reliable literature do you have that these " digest " gluten? More importantly to Celiacs - where is the medical info that says that " digesting " gluten is our issue? Or that digesting gluten will stop the antibodies from being formed? Gluten is digested in the small intestine. It has to sit there to be digested. Even if this product could break the gluten into small enough bits that the immune system wouldn't recognize it as gluten - it would take some time. While that gluten is sitting there....antibodies are being made.

This product is full of proteases, so it looks like the aim of it is to break the gluten protein down into tiny pieces, presumably too small for the immune system to recognize as gluten.  Depending on when you take it and how long it takes for these enzymes to work, and whether they work at stomach acid pH at all, it could help somewhat, but considering that the size of the protein fragments that the immune system recognizes are pretty small, I'd be surprised if it was completely effective.  It would have to break the gluten proteins down into individual amino acids before they leave the stomach to be completely effective, and I'm skeptical that that is possible.  Still, if it reduces the amount of gluten antigens available, it could reduce symptoms.  I'll still keep as religiously away from gluten as I can rather than relying on this.

      Confused about gluten challenge symptoms

      Your experience with gluten is actually not unheard of! Some people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or even celiac disease report an initial ‘honeymoon phase’ during a gluten challenge, where symptoms temporarily improve before worsening again. This could be due to your body adjusting or even a temporary immune modulation. Since you’re only 2.5 w...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      Hi there @Pamp8 yes I've had dermatitis herpetiformis and a negative test for celiac and a negative biopsy. I had stopped eating gluten before taking the test. I have had an inconclusive genetic (?) test. I developed the same all body rash. It was one of the worst experiences of my life and I am sorry you're experiencing it. What helped me: 1). I stopped...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8! As to your first question, it is possible to have only the epidermal form of celiac disease but it is not common. Most people who have dermatitis herpetiformis also have damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. As to your second question, most likely you are getting some gluten contamination from...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I'm new here, although in the past I know I've read some of the messages. My doctor and I have long suspected that I have celiac. I have several other autoimmune illnesses. But, my celiac biopsy was negative, so I started eating a lot more gluten. Over the last several years, I've had minor bouts of an extremely itchy rash that I was correlating to gluten...

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      P.S. I also suffer from Meniere's and Hashimoto's thyroid disease, osteopenia since 40 y.o. These all were diagnosed before the Celiac Disease! And I believe it is all interconnected.

This could be due to your body adjusting or even a temporary immune modulation. Since you’re only 2.5 weeks into the challenge, it’s possible more symptoms could reappear if you continue. Celiac testing (bloodwork and endoscopy) is most accurate after a full 6 weeks of gluten, so sticking with it for now is wise. That said, your joint/tendon issues (especially the Achilles stiffness) are interesting—they can be linked to celiac disease...

I had stopped eating gluten before taking the test.  I have had an inconclusive genetic (?) test.  I developed the same all body rash.  It was one of the worst experiences of my life and I am sorry you're experiencing it.  What helped me: 1). I stopped eating oats of any kind. 2). I also took some anti-biotics that were not prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis but I read they could help. 3). Salty food exacerbates it for me.  Now I have a small flare up any time I get cross contamination like from french fries or a shared grill at a restaurant but it's not as bad as it used to be.  Wishing you...

Most people who have dermatitis herpetiformis also have damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel.  As to your second question, most likely you are getting some gluten contamination from an unknown source on occasion that you are unaware of and are not suspecting. It could be something like in a medication or supplement you are taking or an oral hygiene product you are using or a spice you are using in your cooking. You might also look into a low iodine diet as iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. As to...

But, my celiac biopsy was negative, so I started eating a lot more gluten.  Over the last several years, I've had minor bouts of an extremely itchy rash that I was correlating to gluten, but it wasn't very bad and would improve in a short amount of time. Last year, I had a bout that was a bit worse, but it went away rather quickly, so I didn't think too much about it. Fast forward to this year. I have had a REALLY BAD case of it, for a few months, so I went to a dermatologist, and she diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis...
