    Woolygimp, The enzmyes I take were fomulated by a doctor who had done alot of work in this area of enzymes and receptors. His research was funded...including several grants from the NIH. He was *asked* to try to develop enzymes specifically to address the problem of gluten and casein peptides in children with ASD's. He developed these new...

    There is alot of research into enzymes....start reading. I would recommend that you do your own research on the topic of enzymes. I am not here to try to convince you (someone who clearly despises any type of "natural" treatments) of anything. I say...do your own research and let us know what you find.
  3. Rachel--24
    Yes...and I have most definately acknowledged this type of non-celiac occurance. In fact, this is what I have studied the most....considering that I myself, do not have Celiac Disease. I agree 100% that gluten causes damage OUTSIDE of the gut and this is very often totally unrelated to Celiac Disease. I have made this statement numerous times on this board...

    I would not say that enzymes are untested. In fact there has been a great deal of research in the area of enzymes. This reasearch has been goinmg on for decades now. Nobody is mentioning "cure" here.....I think that has been pointed out several times already. Can you prove that enzymes are NOT beneficial?? Can you prove that they are snakeoil??...

    What?? I'm sorry but unless you're talking about a gluten "allergy" the problem with gluten for Celiacs as well as non celiacs occurs in the small intestine. This part is very well understood. People can have other kinds of reactions to wheat (or any other food/ingredient) but that is not what we're discussing here. Can you provide some info. that shows...

    Here are the results of a study on autistic children who began taking enzymes. Open Original Shared Link My own doctors report the same level of success with their patients. I dunno....but it just doesnt come across as "snakeoil" to me. Maybe I'm just REALLY gullible and naive.

    I found this article and I think it explains exactly what I've been trying to say in my posts. It seems that there has definately been some confusion....and I think it comes mainly from the fact that the enzymes are used by both Celiacs....and non Celiacs. They are used for the same purpose in both conditions...which would obviously be to improve digestion...

    Hi Carol...welcome to the board. I'm not sure if you're following this still but thanks for your suggestions. Yes....this is an old thread....but its still "alive"...just moving right along for a couple of years now. Lots of "newer" things have come about since my original posts regarding corn. I'm actually not intolerant to corn. After...
  9. Rachel--24
    Yeah...and now I'm feeling dumb because I actually wrote that. Another one of my brilliant "OMG" moments. But seriously.....*everything* really does have corn in it!!!

    Lisa, I almost spit all my water out right now!! That was funny!
  11. Rachel--24
    Nancy, I recommend posting this question on LymeNet. Lots of people on that board are familiar with ART. Not so much here though.
  12. Rachel--24
    Ahhhh...I had a feeling it would come down to that. Of course, because its an alternative....it cant possibly be useful....and of course...it *must* be some type of bogus sham. To each their own. Please dont bash people who are a little more open minded. Also do some research on enzymes....they are naturally occuring in the body. Its nothing...
  13. Rachel--24
    Those were my thoughts when I read your post...and the benefits from probiotics. I felt that it wasnt any different.....just two products basically doing the same thing...which is improving digestion. I dont think that anyone can argue that optimal digestion is a very good thing with regards to how well the body is going to function overall. I think...
  14. Rachel--24
    Lisa.....Google "oil pulling". I cant remember if we've ever discussed it here.....but its a natural treatment and apparantly its really good for whitening the teeth. Look into it first.....see what you think. I tried it once but of course I freakin reacted to the oil....so that was pretty much it for me with the oil pulling. I got a couple blisters...
  15. Rachel--24
    Hey....I'll get back to you on this because it WAY past my bedtime. I started posting in an enzyme thread...and woah....BIG mistake. Can someone remind me not to venture out of Rachelville too often....I just end up getting myself into trouble out there. Anyways...Rpm....I'm pretty good at finding things. Google is my best friend. I'm pretty...
  16. Rachel--24
    I agree....and I certainly dont want people to get the impression that I'm saying that glutenease (or any enzymes) can stop intestinal damage from occuring. I said that "In my opinion....less symptoms = less damage (in a person who is symptomatic). So yes....in my opinion based on everything that I've read about enzymes...I think that it helps...
  17. Rachel--24
    I have personal experience with both...Enterolab as well as enzymes containing high amounts of DPPIV. I have to say...I have more confidance in my enzymes than I do in Enterolab. But thats just me. Also, I dont use Enzymedica.....I take a different brand. Its a different formula...but enzymes are enzymes. Enzymedica....as far as I know...is a pretty...
  18. Rachel--24
    He very well may be here only with the intention of promoting this prouct.....its a strong possibility. People arent just immediately banned based on assumptions. I'm sure that if that does turn out to be the case....it will be addressed by Scott. Also...I thought Tom's reply pointed out that UncleZack had recommended GlutenEase for people who REFUSE to...
  19. Rachel--24
    Nobody here is saying that its a cure....nobody is saying that it prevents intestinal damage. I dont think that anyone KNOWS exactly how it helps someone with Celiac as far as cc goes. All I can tell you is that people who regularly experience symptoms from cc seem to have alot less of that going on once they start taking the enzymes. Maybe its because...
  20. Rachel--24
    I dont recall ever having said that in any of my posts....nor have I ever felt that this was the case. We dont know that it does or doesnt prevent intestinal damage. I've only stated that people with Celiac take it for the purpose of reducing risk of CC....and they say that it helps them....its as simple as that. I honestly dont know where you...
  21. Rachel--24
    Well I think that just goes back to taking responsibility for your diet. Many people with Celiac are eating risky...WITHOUT the enzyme. Some just eat gluten outright....some dont follow the diet AT ALL. I think most Celiacs know what they have to do to keep themselves healthy. If some choose to risk their health...I dont think anyone can prevent that...
  22. Rachel--24
    My thoughts are that if "symptomatic" people seem to feel better and have less accidental glutenings while taking the enzymes....then those who are "asymptomatic" would also presumably have some benefit...even if they cant *feel* a difference. Of course we dont know for certain....but it makes sense to me that it would have the same benefits in either...
  23. Rachel--24
    Thanks Nancy, I'll look into that. I always discard my capsules so that part I'm definately used to. Hopefully I can find some probiotics. Kassandra, Like Paula said....try not to stress too much. I hope you're able to enjoy your time in Tahoe. Hopefully the bleeding will resolve soon.
  24. Rachel--24
    Lisa, Actually ALOT of Celiac's use enzymes to reduce risk from cross contamination....including members of this board. If you really spend some time looking into it....you would be aware that non-celiacs AND Celiacs BOTH use the enzymes.....just for different reasons. I dont have Celiac...so I can use the enzymes and actually eat gluten...
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah....and I can assure everyone here that I'm not working for any company making these enzymes. I'm not a shill. We've heard alot of negative responses from people who have never even tried the enzymes...has anyone tried them and had a bad experience?? Lets hear from people who have EXPERIENCE with the product. I take enzymes designed for breaking...
