Gluten enzymes in pills

[Suit]

Hi

Did anyone try any of the pills that are supposed to aid digestion of gluten?

Would be brilliant if they actually work in case of CC, at least give some ease.

Sorry, no idea if these work or not. You may find that charcoal tablets can help, if you’ve been glutened.

This is a recent article on some future possibilities.

Thanks

The article sounds promising. They linked to a proper study of enzymes as an aid too, it's not quite the same enzymes.. Hence might be worth trying those pills anyway. I don't expect it to work, nor make all symptoms go away. But hopefully an ease.

I did try charcoal once, it wasn't something for me. It came back up again quite quickly.

But I guess I was lucky since I read on the label later on that its great for diarrhea, I have the very opposite issue.

But its the joint pain, rash and fatigue that bothers me most.

It’s tough, but only thing you can do at the moment is to be super vigilant about avoiding gluten.

Yes, I know.

It's hard though, since not everything needs to be labeled, and it's easy to become lazy and take things for granted sometimes.

It would be nice with some kind of insurance for mistakes. :/

Yes.

I find chefs at restaurants more knowledgeable than producers though. I always "complain" by asking if derivatives are from any grain or what levels of gluten they usually get when testing. But hardly ever get answers, the only one's really responding are those not devoted to serve gluten free products.

I'm going to write about the issue for debate here. Coz the science behind this limit has it's faults, mainly in the population sample.

You can't force anyone to participate, and when you ask your population to join: "hey, do you want to eat a certain amount of gluten, 10 or 50 mg, each day for 90 consecutive days for our study...?"

you immediately loose everyone who shrugs to the question, and the samples are made up by only those who think that it does not sound to bad to eat gluten for 90 days..

It's not fair to the population as a whole, if the results from a sample like that determines what is considered safe. Most of the participants usually have damaged intestinals even though they think they are on a gf diet too.

They cannot replicate a study like that on coeliacs suffers badly after cross contact. That would be more of an endurance test.. "how many consecutive days can you eat this amount of gluten? Of course you'll be compensated for income loss"
