Peptidase Supplementation


LauraZ

Recommended Posts

LauraZ Rookie

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.

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!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
