My original email said that our celiac daughter had tried GlutenEase, 
which is labeled as assisting with gluten and casein digestion.  Since 
she is celiac, we did not intend to use the pill to help her to digest 
gluten, which she studiously avoids.  Instead we hoped that it might 
enable her to eat dairy, which typically gives her migraine headaches.  
She has tested as extremely allergic to casein using the IgG 
allergy/food intolerance marker.  She took a pill, as directed, then 
ate a small bag of M&M with peanuts.  She got the migraine headache.  I 
concluded that the pill didn't appear to help her, and asked if anyone 
else had used it successfully.

I received four responses today.  A couple suggested that she might be 
lactose intolerant.  Two suggested that M&Ms might not be the best food 
to use to test the effectiveness of the pill, as they contain chocolate 
and various dyes, etc. that might also trigger migraines.  Two 
suggested that a better experiment would be to have her take the pill 
and then drink a glass of milk or eat cheese, or, to test the gluten 
digestion capabilities of the pill, to take the pill and then eat 
gluten containing crackers that don't contain any other major 
allergens.   These are not possibilities for her  because she gets 
excruciating headaches from eating tiny amounts of dairy so she would 
not risk her health by eating a concentrated amount.  Also, since she 
is celiac and reacts painfully to parts per million of gluten, she 
would never knowingly eat anything that contains gluten for any reason.

We were hoping to find a supplement or other way that she could 
occasionally eat foods containing a small amount of casein (such as 
milk chocolate) without getting a migraine.  (She doesn't get migraines 
from dark chocolate.)  The test of the GlutenEase to break down the 
casein in M&Ms was a real world experiment using food she would like to 
be able to enjoy.

None of those responding to my original email reported any successful 
or unsuccessful experiences using this supplement.
