<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My son does not have celiac disease but is instead allergic to gluten, dairy, and just about everything else he's ever eaten before. Based on some hair testing, iridology, and the fact that he didn't sweat ever, it was concluded that he didn't have enough chloride in his body to make sweat or HCl (stomach acid). He started taking over-the-counter digestive enzymes (plant-based) and salting his food with sea salt. I'm happy to say he started to sweat again. Then a doctor who works with kids with autism suggested that he take Creon 5 for snacks and Creon 10 for meals. These are prescription animal based enzymes. He seems to react less to gluten but he does still react to the allergic foods. Celiac is different than a food allergy. I don't think digestive enzymes are the answer to allowing a celiac to eat wheat. But if you have trouble digesting food, the enzymes might help with that aspect of the disorder. Jean Jasinski
