Any Recent Users Of Gluten Defense Or Glutenease?

My health food store carries a product called Gluten Defense - an enzyme that enables your body to break down traces of gluten accidentally ingested. Usually I do not buy into this type of thing but as I am soon going to Italy and Croatia I wonder whether it is legitimate to take only when a meal is suspect (i.e. lost in translation in Croatia especially, even with restaurant cards). Is this a ploy or marketing gimmick?

It is clearly not intended to be used so you can eat gluten. There is no chance I would even remotely consider that, either. I have been accidentally glutened by hidden gluten in a gluten-free product and did not know it as I had absolutely no reaction. Would it even help in that situation? Is it more to treat symptoms or the internal damage caused?

Has anyone here actually tried this stuff? Comments? Just curious. Inquiring minds want to know! :P

      Insomnia help

      My feeling is that histamine intolerance/MCAS is doesn't get enough press in the medical world and is greatly underdiagnosed.

      I just saw in Trent’s response something about the vitamins. Good to know.

      Have you heard anything about being celiac and pills, vitamins not absorbing into your system? I hope that makes sense. Basically, you don’t get the full effect. There is something that helps the absorption, like Vit C?? Thanks for all of your help.

      Prana Organics no longer GFCO-certified

      Updating to note that it has been over a month since I initially wrote Prana and they haven't provided a response to my question about what testing limits (ppm) they use now. I've sent them a couple reminder emails but nothing. Booo.
