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!

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:
