Some time back an uncle of mine (a conservative southerner) send me the July
1991 issue of "Alternatives - For The Health Conscious Individual" (by
Mountain Home Publishing).  In it there was the following paragraph:

  Taking papain [a protein-digesting enzyme in papaya] supplements (500 to
1,000 mg with meals) can help digest wheat gluten.  It often works so well
that   with supplementation many celiac disease patients can once again eat
wheat   products without problems!  (Gut 64;5:295-303)  Papain can be a
godsend to   those people who meticulously have to avoid wheat-containing
products.

My question is what did the Gut article really say?
