The following is a message to me from my Mom regarding plant enzymes and CD.
We are both currently on a GF diet. I am diagnosed, she is not, but is
definitely a celiac. Does anyone know if these enzymes offer relief and the
ability to eat gluten?

Scott,

Would you trust someone who (1) "didn't know the cause", and (2) doesn't
seem to know the difference between an allergy (which produces histamine
reactions) and a food intolerance which doesn't?
