The most common situation is when shared utensils are not adequately cleaned and in that case one capsule is enough.

If you find out that you have accidentally eaten gluten after the fact then please take GliadinX as soon as possibly and preferably within 30-90 minutes while the food bolus is still in the stomach. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that GliadinX can break down about 1/8 to 1/3 slices of bread. (A researcher at the University of Chicago says 1/8 and the Dutch team who worked on the product determined that it is about 1/3 slice.) I have purposely maximized the concentration even if it is a little more expensive and also adjusted the acidity to further boost the effect to allow also for accidental consumption of gluten. We all know that it just happens but I emphasize here accidental and not intentional. This is not a hint or encouragement to eat gluten but it means exactly what it says.

Please use the chart on this page to determine the amount of capsules https://www.gliadinx.com/instructions

Beyond that time frame, GliadinX will not help anymore because it is only effective in the stomach together with the naturally occurring stomach enzymes.

Thank you! So very helpful!

In summary, AN-PEP has been shown in published scientific studies to break down anywhere between 1/8 to 1/3 of a slice of wheat bread! If that is not the most amazing development that has come along in the treatment of celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity in the past 25 years, what is? How much cross contamination would you likely get in a restaurant where you might order off a gluten-free menu, or order items you know are naturally gluten-free? What if they cooked your eggs and hash browns on an area where they cooked pancakes, or they cooked a lettuce-wrapped burger on a grill where they toasted wheat buns? What if they pulled the croutons out of a salad they gave you? How much gluten would this be?

Again, I am not encouraging anyone to be unsafe, but am encouraging those who can't eat gluten to be more safe if they can't always be in a situation where they have full control over their food.

This is the paper from clinicians at the University of Chicago Celiac center writing about GliadinX being able to break down "only" 1/8 of a slice of bread (Section 12). As Scott pointed out, that is a huge step forward given that most contamination is a lot less

I just came across this thread. I’m very interested in more information about the AN-PEP and also I’ve seen things about charcoal tablets. Do you have any specific brands of these supplements or precautionary measures that you recommend? I’m so new to celiac disease that I’m literally afraid to eat almost anything from anyplace other than a pre-packaged certified gluten free food item. It’s been a bit overwhelming to say the least. Thank you so much!

When my kids were diagnosed, I must admit that it was quite overwhelming for me also but it for sure gets easier as you learn how to deal with it. It is easier in urban areas where there are more gluten free restaurants but most supermarkets have lots of gluten free options. 

Regarding AN-PEP, you can go on google scholar and enter the terms: aspergillus niger endopeptidase, gluten and you will find a lot.  I am biased towards GliadinX but you can easily look up the concentration of various AN-PEP (tolerase G) containing products and you will find that GliadinX has by far the highest concentration. In addition, the formula is made to lower the pH to further boost the efficacy. This is based on a study that compared the AN-PEP alone and with an acidic carbonated drink. Charcoal is controversial because the pores are very small and therefore, it can not detoxify gluten but some report that it helps with bloating. I am not an expert in that and others might chime in.

This is a paper that I just recently discovered by Dr. Stefano Guandalini who is Professor Emeritus and the founder of the University of Chicago Celiac Center.

Please not on the last page before the references the diagram (the image with the scissors) explaining how AN-PEP (GliadinX) works https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Stefano-Guandalini/publication/356538001_Celiac_Disease/links/61fec72bb44cbe4227256a70/Celiac-Disease.pdf

This product does not work for simple cross-contamination for me.

I don’t intend on doing copious amounts of research trying to justify that enzymes work; I just won’t support or purchase the product.

The fact this product is hyped on this forum so much AND a sponsor is suspect.

I'm not sure of how you used it, but it is true that if you got something with a lot of contamination it may not work unless you increase the number of capsules you take. In restaurant situations, even if I order from a gluten-free menu, I typically take two just before eating. Since I've been doing this I've not had gluten issues when eating out, but each situation is different, and my two capsules may not work if I should encounter something with a lot more hidden gluten in it.

Hi,

I am actually the "suspect" sponsor and I have developed the product for my own children based on the existing data and not based on hype but based on collaboration with the former head of the University of Chicago Celiac Center and the head of the GI department at Leiden University who performed some the original studies in 2006.

If the owner of the site, would not have evaluated the real data, he would not put my product anywhere on his site. 

 

After the disappointing outcome of a vaccine study, research has been focusing on reducing the body's inflammatory response and once again on endopeptidases such as GliadinX or Kumamax by Takeda and Latiglutenase by ImmunogenX (currently studies at the Mayo Clinic). Enzymes have been researched since the early 2000s and have been shown to break down the immunogenic component of gluten but got out of favor because several exopeptidases (not endopeptidases) claimed to break down gluten which in fact they do but they do not digest the immunogenic components and therefore the gluten is not detoxified. 

Here is the most recent double-blind placebo study with GliadinX on celiac volunteers. I am privileged to the data but can not post it until it will be published. I can hint that it is quite convincing and I hope that it will help people to have a safer gluten-free lifestyle and alleviate some of the significant stress associated with it:

I understand that you do not want to go through a copious amount of research (which is unfortunate because it is easily accessible) but for those who are interested here are some pertinent links to publications in peer-reviewed high-quality professional journals:

That’s great pal. It didn’t (and hasn’t) worked for me. YMMV, OK?

All the studies and factoids do not change my individual results.

You haven’t mentioned how you’ve used it, how many capsules you took, etc. More details about that might reveal something that could be helpful to you and others. Can you describe your experience when It didn’t work for you? How much you took, when you took them (hopefully just before eating or with the meal) is helpful info.

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.

      Thank you kindly for your response. I have since gotten the other type of bloods done and am awaiting results.
