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.

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!

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
