Gluten Digestive Enzymes

So clearly the goal is to NOT ingest Gluten!! LOL  But does any one take a Gluten Digestive Enzyme:  Open Original Shared Link

To even help digest the trace amounts in gluten-free foods?  Or to help reduce the impact of an accidental cross contamination?

 

Just curios if it is worth looking into?

I personally tried enzymes ment to eliminate gluten like over 2 years ago.....did not help much if hardly any and I have a personal grudge and extremely opposed to any kind of enzyme that says it can help break it down before you react to. Now for some of the less sensitive it might help lower the severity  of the reaction but for me and those of us really sensitive or get ER level sick from it I would not even bother with them.   Fact is there is no guarantee it will destroy it enough before it reaching your intestines, your immune response will still be triggered to some degree, and you will still cause damage to your intestines (in my case also causes nerve and brain damage).

As celiac is a autoimmune disease where our body gets confused and attacks the wrong thing and goes nuts with gluten I think the cure/way to alleviate the symptoms should probably be approached from a different angle like a vaccine/gluten ebi pen to change the way our body reacts to the gluten proteins perhaps even turning off the t cells and immune response on a targeted level.    THIS is currently in testing and seems much more promising.

In the mean time your better off investing in a gluten test kit or EZ strips if you want to chance it.......Nima is overly sensitive but still alright EZ-strips is just expensive and tad iffy to use but quite accurate if done right.

That is sort of what I figured.  Thanks for validating!

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
