    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...

    I was a healthy person with no problems at all, then my two youngest kids needed to go gluten free, so I did too. By day two, I felt fantastic! And I hadn't been having any problems before. A few days later, I was out somewhere and the people I was with were getting hot dogs, so I got one too. Within an hour, my lips were itching and burning. Then I started...

    I tried giving DPP-IV enzymes to my 11-year-old son who was having problems with gluten, and I have to say, they did help him. But then I got scared and decided it was better to go totally gluten free with him. I suddenly felt like I was saying to him, 'go ahead and eat the poison, just make sure you take the antidote at the same time'. He was having really...

    Hi, I'm new here and don't know much, but my 11-year-old had an odd situation where he barely ate anything but stayed kind of chubby. Not what you would call really overweight, but a little pudgy. When he went gluten free, he started eating probably 2 or 3 times more food, but the weight just dropped off him. I mean within days he was slim jim while eating...

    I live in NJ and never heard of Wegman's but I will look for it. It would be so helpful to have things labeled. I think for now I will have to shop at the health food store if I can't find it, until I get everything straight. Thanks for all your help! I don't know what people did without the internet.

    Oh no, I was giving them oats! I have got a lot to learn! I just found out that Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes aren't gluten free either! We have to come up with a whole new way of eating!

    Wow, it's all so very confusing. But the bottom line I guess is, if it's bad for you, don't eat it! They did test my son for Lyme, and it was negative, but my daughter should be tested as well. I wonder if she might have an ulcer too, but when i talked to the doctor about all this, he said to just take the wheat out of the diet and see how it goes, so...

    I just suddenly had the thought that maybe my son tested negative because maybe he doesn't make much IgA. We used Enterolab, and even though he was off gluten for the most part, they say it will still show up. I don't know, it's very confusing.

    Thank you so much for your replies! You are so right, the best thing is to just be gluten-free all the time, no matter what. I think the enzymes helped my son because he is probably gluten intolerant and not a true celiac. I was reading a site called Enzymestuff, and on there they say that a true celiac would have a worse reaction to gulten with enzymes...

    Hello! This is my first post here, though I've been reading and trying to learn. I have two children who are reacting in different ways to gluten. My son, age 11, was having some really scary neurological symptoms such as staggering at times, seizure-like episodes, and terrible brain fog. At times he would break out in a rash that looked like raised red...
