Malt Diastase

Hi. This is my very first post here!

Yeah, ok...anyway...

I'm researching the whole "malt diastase" question as well. Please update this thread if you know of ANY digestive enzyme supplement that safely has this ingredient in it. I (very sadly) just discovered that MY supplement contains it as well. Argh. I'm so not going to be happy if it IS from barley in my specific brand...

Welcome!!

I don't know how to tell. The ones I was taking with malt diastase were making me sick. I know it can be made from other than barley, but it seems that it can also be made with barley. :blink: Confusing ... I just avoid it to be safe.

Hi, don't know if anyone is still interested... I just called Nature's Plus about Maltase (from barley malt) in their enzymes that are labeled gluten-free and here is what they told me: they can label a product gluten-free if the gluten content is less than 20 parts per million. In other words, it does have gluten, but it can be labeled gluten-free, because there is not a lot of it. :(

I spoke with their product specialist and she said if I just call them and ask them if it's gluten-free, they will say say. :angry: Beware!!!!!

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By BadHobit · Posted

      H. Pylori is negative. However, I was treated twice for this infection. All of my unknown complaints started with pneumonia and were reinforced with Covid-19. I currently have thyroid disease. However, my thyroid problem receded with synthetic hormones and was almost solved. My body has been on alert for the last year. Especially skin, intestines, eyes.

      Help! I have to eat gluten :(

      By BadHobit · Posted

      It happened like you said, the dermatologist prescribed the creams. He told me to go to gastroenterology and left the door open for immunology. I'm going to immunology because my throat swelled up last yesterday at night for no reason and suddenly I've developed asthma. And I don't have that. I gave up gluten so quickly that I couldn't even start. I am going to have a gene test. In my country, gluten-free food is costly but with a coeliac diagnosis, we can buy it for half the price. That's why I always eat potatoes, bananas and rice.

      I think I have found a partial answer, too long to quote here. Polyphagia, depression, stress, loss of nutrients due to damaged villi. Tx all.

      @cjjones5969, Unintended weight loss is a symptom of Thiamine deficiency.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like gluten containing flours and products made with them.  Switching to a gluten free diet can precipitate vitamin deficiencies. Celiac Disease damages the small intestine where vitamins like Thiamine and the other B vitamins  are absorbed.  B Vitamins cannot be stored for long in the body, so we need to consume sufficient quantities every day.  Thiamine can be stored the least amount of time (21days), and because our bodies require so much of it, thiamine runs out first.  Unexplained weight loss is a symptom of Thiamine deficiency disorder.   Please discuss supplementation with B vitamins with your doctor and nutritionist.  B vitamins are water soluble and any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Thiamine is nontoxic and safe.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Blood tests for B vitamins are not accurate.  The best way to see if you're low in B vitamins is to take them and look for improvement in health.   Thiamine works with magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Magnesium is also needed to keep calcium in the bones.  Magnesium should also be supplemented when taking Calcium.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Welcome to the forum, @cjjones5969 Are you eating much processed gluten free facsimile foods?   Keep in mind that gluten free processed foods, like gluten free breads, pasta and cookies, are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals.  Flours containing gluten are required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates requires additional Thiamine and other B vitamins to turn the carbohydrates into energy.  Early Thiamine deficiency can manifest as "Gastrointestinal Beriberi" which results in abdominal pain,  bloating and gastroparesis.   The Gluten Free diet can be low in essential nutrients, like the B vitamins, Vitamin D, and minerals like iron.   Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with B vitamins which boosts the absorption of these essential nutrients.     @A.C.123, I agree, iron supplements can cause constipation.  Have you tried taking iron supplements at bedtime, with a Vitamin C supplement?  Taking mine this way helps immensely.
