Hello list mates,

 

In response to my inquiry about your thoughts on glutenease, a supplement
for celiac symptoms.  No one uses it to try to eat gluten, expressing a
concern about the harm of ingesting gluten, even if there are no symptoms.
The company in a letter several years ago said glutenease was not suitable
for a person with celiac to relieve symptoms from eating gluten.

 

However, many people said it works and have it with them in case of
accidental ingestion of gluten.  As one person commented, "I think the pills
may work in the case of eating in a restaurant when you're concerned about
cross contamination, but are not a license to eat gluten that you know
you're eating (darn it)."  One person takes two pills one half hour before
going to eat at a restaurant to protect against possible cross
contamination.

 

Another person doesn't know about glutenease, but she uses bentonite which
is cheap and easy to carry to similarly protect against accidental gluten
exposure.  She said that an additional benefit of bentonite is that it can
similarly help with plain old non-gluten food poisoning.
