E3 Advanced Plus™ to the Rescue!


Scott Adams

Recommended Posts

Scott Adams Grand Master

E3 Advanced Plus can help avoid the discomfort associated with the consumption of gluten protein*. E3 breaks down the gluten protein in the digestive system into di, tri, and free-form peptides before it reaches the small intestine. When these pulverized proteins reach the small intestine in this immunologically unrecognizable state, it does not activate an immune system response.*

This product is NOT suitable for celiacs! This is a paid advertisement!  Although it may be gluten free, it can not protect a celiac from unwanted gluten exposures.   Not one of the astricks on the article is linked to a reference.  The actual product states that none of the claims have been evaluated by the FDA (nor needs to because it is a "supplement."  

I am going to forward this to the Gluten Free WatchDog.

There are no medications currently on the market that "digest" gluten.  This just a paid advertisement.  

 

http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/do-supplements-like-glutenease-offer-protection-against-accidentally-eating-gluten/

 

"We put no validity in these supplements. In fact, they may offer a false sense of protection when they provide no protection at all "

 

There are some meds in development that may be able to break down gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the small intestine.  But they are not available and have not passed all the tests to become a legitimate medication.  When they are available, it may be a prescription only drug. We have had article on here about these legitimate medications.

If you go to the website - they have the legal statement -

" These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

Thank you for posting about this. My Mom sent me a link to this product and I was very wary, and for a good reason. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Makes me frustrated that this advertising is so misleading and could really harm a lot of us! Thanks again!

Although this was a paid ad on our site I would not discount the use of enzymes that break down gluten for your mother, or anyone who seeks to avoid gluten for any reason. The fact is that most celiacs continue to ingest hidden gluten:

and such enzymes may mitigate this, especially for those who continue to eat outside their own kitchen.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
