Can I take gliadin x daily?

Is it safe to take gliadin x before every single meal, including my meals at home?  Can I at least take it every day?  I'm having a very hard time figuring out what is glutening me, or if it's a separate GI disorder.  I've been on a celiac diet for over a decade, and I'm baffled as to what's causing my symptoms.  My doctors can't figure it out either so I'm grasping at straws.  The main symptoms of accidental glutening is an immediate feeling of heaviness and fatigue, usually before I finish  the meal.   It feels similar to the beginnings of anesthesia, minus the unconsciousness.  It's a full body response, not just my GI system.

Welcome to the forum, Sunflower89!

I would suspect that you are not getting glutened, not every meal like that. That just doesn't make sense unless you are eating something that is the same for every meal that whose formulation has changed over time and now contains gluten.

But to answer your question, I do not believe it would be harmful to take GliadinX with every meal, at least not for a limited amount of time. It would be expensive, though. If the gliadinX does not solve the issue you might be wise to look in a different direction. Could this be a blood sugar level problem as in hypoglycemia? After we eat a meal, our body directs a lot of blood flow to the stomach and gut for digestion. Does this happen even after a light meal?

Blood sugar is the first thing I thought, too. Could be hyperglycaemia if the body cannot control blood sugar well. What happens if you eat a low carbohydrate, low glycaemic index meal?

It should be safe to take daily, and just to be sure I have included the founder here @docaz to see if he'd like to add to this.

The enzyme has been approved by the European Food Safety Agency as safe for regular human consumption:

They tend to follow the precautionary principle, so if they regard it as safe it probably is.

GliadinX is safe to take every day and even multiple times during the day because GliadinX does not accumulate in the body, It is only effective in the stomach to break down the proline bindings of the gluten proteins. GliadinX does not leave the GI tract and is excreted in the stool. 

Also as Trents wrote it is safe and only costs a little over 50 cents per capsule but if taken very often, it can get expensive.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
