Gluten Ease

I was wondering if anyone has tried a product called Gluten Ease.

I know it sounds too good to be true, but I saw it in my health food store and didnt know if it was worth trying. I am usually okay restricting my diet, but there are some foods that I really miss at times!!!

Thanks for any input.

You can not use this is you have celiac!

From what I understand... it "could" alleviate your obvious external symptoms....but it would STILL damage your insides. Not worth it, imho.

Just to avoid any confusion, the product itself is gluten-free. Should you use it? Not in the way the original poster was inquiring. What it might help with are accidental glutenings.

I have been taking these for the past month or so, anytime I'm going out to eat at a restaurant, or at some function where there could potentially be cross-contamination. I do feel that it helped at least in one particular case-my "glutening" episodes usually last for hours, and my last one passed within 1/2-1 hour.

However, the other day, I had some kind of episode (glutening? stomach virus? who knows!) and the Gluten Ease did not help one bit. Of course, like I said, I'm not sure it was a glutening.

There's no way to know for sure if it helps minimize internal damage from the glutening. You could do periodic lab tests while taking Gluten Ease regularly I suppose, but so many other factors could be involved.

FWIW, I don't feel that the company itself is necessarily trying to sell Gluten Ease as a "cure-all" for Celiacs. I have found some 3rd party retailers that seem to be slanting it towards that angle though, unfortunately.

Also, I believe there is another Gluten Ease discussion thread out there where a gentleman actually "tested" the product by taking a couple of capsules and then eating a sandwich with "regular" gluten containing bread. The results weren't so great. :(

I would not use the product to go out and eat gluten but I have them to help with accidental glutenings.

so are these something you take every day or after you feel you have been glutened??

I only take it when I go out to eat. For example, before the server brings my food I take 2 capsules ( I am extremely sensitive so I take 2). Only take it if you are eating gluten or if you think you might be glutened on accident.

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
