Status Update...

The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods.

I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor.

I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support.

That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

As you noticed, GliadinX is a site sponsor which I use regularly whenever I eat outside my home. There have been multiple studies which have shown that AN-PEP enzymes, used in the product, can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, which you can read here:

Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
