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

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
