Peptidase Supplementation

I came across this article through the DH website and was wondering if anyone here had some input on it:

Open Original Shared Link

It talks about how peptidase supplementation could be the next approach to helping those with celiac sprue. I then googled "peptidase supplementation" and found that these supplements are available over the counter. Has anyone tried this? I don't think I'd give up a gluten-free diet, but if it could ward off those cross-contamination experiences, it would be so great...

Is this the same thing as Pepcid AC? My doctor just recommended it for when I go out to eat to block antibody reactions to strange or new foods.

Laura -

Great article. Since it was written in 2002, I wonder if they have made any progress. I'd volunteer to be a guinea pig!!

Maybe someone knows of ongoing research...

I agree! This is interesting. I'd try it if just for the accidents and CC.

I had read about this a little while back and had seen something about Cytolog which supposedly can help with Celiac's. But Cytolog is more of an infopeptide and studies aren't too far along. The company is claiming a pretty high success rate within 6 weeks with Celiac patients. Hmmmm......I am still skeptical. It costs about $20 per bottle. I did speak to a homeopath about this and he was skeptical also. I figured a homeopath would know a bit more about a supplement than an MD (or me). In any case, I haven't tried it but the article mentioned by the pp was intriguing. It would be wonderful if there was something out there that could help break down gliadin!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
