Glutenease

Does anyone know anything about GlutenEase? I went to a celiac support group the other night and there was a lady there promoting it like it was a miracle drug. She said that if you took it and then ate gluten that you would not have any reaction to the gluten or any damage to the intestines. I didn't believe her so I tried to find info online and I didnt find any, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knew anything. Thanks for your help!

Here's a recent thread we had on the subject. It has a lot of information.

There are no miracle drugs. Gluten free is the only way to go. I does upset me that people want to profit on someone's illness.

There is no way on earth they would be able to prove that there is no damage without biopsies, doctors, specialists, hospitals and long-term studies. It sounds like this woman is excited because it helped her symptoms and wants to share, but celiac is much more complex than just symptoms. It's well-known that people with celiac can be completely asymptomatic and they only find out their villi are worn away after a biopsy.

There are several of us who are interested in Glutenease to find out if it helps in the case of cross-contamination. I bought a bottle, but I only use it in certain settings.

My kids are gluten-free too and are preschoolers. There is no way I'd use a pill that they're much too young to take only to have them suffer from a glutening that I'm not suffering from because I took a pill. The last time all three of us were glutened, my poor husband just about crawled under the couch to get away from us. :blink: It's pretty bad. The guilt of them going through it and me not would be worse for me than the glutening.

I am, however, planning on taking it with me the next time I go with my husband on a business conference, which I get a chance to do a couple times a year. I'd love to see if it worked POST-glutening. I get such a wide variety of reactions it would be interesting to see which, if any, might be helped by it.

I'm curious to know if you tried the Glutenease and what you thought. Are you still using it. I know this is an old thread, I've been reading about enzymes and trying to decide which are best for me, and I saw this about Glutenease and am very curious about it. Anyone else that has any information, please share. Thanks.

Linda,

There are some fairly recent threads which I've posted in regarding enzymes such as Glutenease and Peptizyde. I posted a list of different enzymes and what they work best for.

Example...Peptizyde is great for non-celiacs (on or off the diet)...but not recommended for Celiacs as a "safety net" for cross-contamination.

Glutenease....is good for non-celiacs (on or off the diet)....and can also be used by Celiacs to help reduce possible cross contamination reactions.

There was alot of enzymes on the list....I'm sure these threads will come up in a search. I'd post links but I'm on a sluggish computer right now.

I'm always interested in how people are doing with enzymes. :)

Rachel, you're such a sweetie...thank you, I did find your very excellent and extensive list. I copied and pasted it into an enzyme folder, and then looked up Glutenease, and was thinking about trying it, since I do not have Celiac but only gluten sensitivity, not to minimize that with an 'only', because I was so sick while eating it. But it would be nice to know I could go out to eat and not worry about CC and maybe even cheat a little.

I was also reading that with malabsorption there is a problem with pancreatic function, did you read that? I found that very interesting and it makes sense too me, because over the last 8-10 years, I've had a lot of problems with hypoglycemia, which means the pancreas is working overtime, pumping out that insulin. My doctor said prediabetic. Anyway, I was on the Enzymedica site all afternoon reading.

Do you know of anyone whose used it and have they done well with it?

Linda

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
