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!

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

      Lots of tests

      By Suzi374 · Posted

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.
