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

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
