Can We Detox From Gluten Using Dpp-iv ?

This article states that digestive enzymes will work on undigested foods in our bodies if taken on an empty stomach. I'm not eating gluten on purpose, but since I'm super sensitive I wanted to try this to see if it would help me with CC.

I started taking this 2 weeks ago and right away had smelly poop and watery "D". I'm currently taking 1 - 2 a day with nuts or seeds and feeling fine. Actually, I've noticed an increase in my energy level. It's too early to tell if this is what I needed.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this ?

i have no clue about the detox thing, but people say DPP-IV is recommended to them by knowledgeable doctors since it's supposed to help digest gluten, but not to be able to eat it, in case of small traces/CC...it also helps digest casein but i never hear too much talk though, but never heard any bad experience, probably not too well known

I think if you want to use them for CC, you would have to take the enzymes while the food is still in your stomach, but if you take the enzymes on an empty stomach, they circulate around cleaning things up. They are supposed to be kind of irritating to your stomach when you first start using them, the website I was reading said it's like cleaning out a scraped knee, you would want to go gently at first and maybe just take 1/2 a capsule until things start to heal.

Thanks for the interesting link. I've read some good things about enzymes. I wouldn't purposely eat gluten with them, but I think they can help heal and get the most from the other foods we eat. Let us know how it goes!

Thanks for your replies. I just started looking into the different types of digestive enzymes available, but I've been eating raw papaya, pineapple, mango and ground up dried papaya seeds and taking probiotics for over 2 years now. These have really helped anytime I've felt like my food wasn't moving through me or I was gassy or cramping. But, after reading this, I was thinking it might be a good idea to vary our digestive enzymes. And add more raw foods to our diets. Maybe it's time to try some sushi ... ;)

Here's a blip on Digesticol. I only copied in a small part ...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
