I have seen Glutenease Mary Ruth Gluten Digestive enzyme with high ratings on Amazon but curious what this actually does to help intolerance with gluten? Has anyone tried these products? Thoughts.

I can't speak for that one, but some people here including myself use the one from our sponsor here called GliadinX, which uses AN-PEP enzymes and has many scientific publications about how if can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach. You can read those studies here:

Have you noticed a difference using it vs not using it? 

Scott Adams Grand Master

Yes, before using it I ended up with gluten issues ~%25-30% of the time when eating at restaurants. Now I take two before eating in any restaurant and haven't noticed any further issues. That said, it isn't supposed to be used to purposefully eat gluten, but seems perfect for the time that your hashbrowns may have been cooked on the same grill as the pancakes, etc.

so its helpful for cross contamination possibility in restaurants.

Scott Adams Grand Master

Yes, I only use it when I'm eating outside my home, at restaurants, when traveling, when at a friends' houses for meals, etc.

very interesting that FDA hasnt looked into this study to confirm it helps.

The FDA doesn't regulate nutraceuticals like this. The AN-PEP enzyme has been used for decades in commercial beer brewing as a clarifying agent, and is no longer patentable, thus no pharmaceutical companies are interested in it specifically, although there are companies that are trying to develop their own version of it that can be patented.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as...

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
