CeliAct has just released a complete nutritional supplement made just for us celiac people! I love it! You don’t have to have Celiac disease to take the supplement; anyone can take it…actually I think everyone should take it. It’s all good stuff for everyone. But they made it with us Celiac people in mind.
CeliAct includes Vitamin A, E, K and C, B complex, Folic Acid and B12 for all your vitamin needs. It also has Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D for your bones and Zinc, Glutamine and Citrus bioflavonoids for healing your intestines. They added Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Lactis, and Bacillus Coagulans, which are the good bacteria that live your gut. Research is starting to find that these bacteria may be a cure for celiac disease. They also included digestive enzymes to help break down your food and absorb the nutrients.
All of these things are what we need in our systems when having Celiac disease. When we eat gluten free, there are many vitamins and minerals that our systems are missing out on, vitamins and minerals that we need. They added all the things that we need into one pill…and its gluten free! How can you not love that?

There has been a bunch of talk about the “new celiac pill” GlutenEase.  I tried GlutenEase for the past couple of months and I have to tell you…they are really good.

It seems people are very confused on what it is and what it’s supposed to do for you.  Too many people think this is the “magic” pill for people with celiac disease.  That is not true!  They are enzymes…simple as that.  BUT…the company has designed GlutenEase with certain enzymes that help people with celiac disease digest small amounts of gluten so that it’s easier for us to get through the “celiac symptoms”.  What does that mean?  It means…if you go out to eat somewhere and eat something that you’re not sure if it had gluten in it or not, after you eat, take the pill.  It will help digest your foods faster and easier, so that you may not have any symptoms, or your symptoms won’t be as bad as they would have been without the pill.

What’s in these pills?  The 4 enzymes in GlutenEase are Protease, Lipase, Amylase and Cellulase.  Now you’re gonna ask…what is that?? Protease is the enzyme that breaks down protein.  Lipase’s role is in digestion, it transports and processes lipids, which are the triglycerides, fats and oils.  Amylase breaks down starches into sugar, some starches don’t have a lot of sugar in them (example rice and potato)…but ever notice how they can taste a little bit sweet?  That’s the amylase in your saliva. Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down cellulose for digestion.  Did you know that most animals, including humans, do not make cellulase? What is cellulose?  It’s what we call dietary fiber…your greens.  That’s why we call them roughage…because we don’t have enough cellulase to digest all of the greens.  There is so much more to go into about enzymes…but it gets very complicated and scientific.  But, this should give you a quick rundown of the enzymes in GlutenEase.

Now, some people are a little confused about what GlutenEase is for and think that it is to prevent celiac symptoms.  That simply is not true….this is from the company…

”Enzymedica GlutenEase™; supports people suffering with gluten or casein intolerance. GlutenEase is not formulated to prevent celiac symptoms. GlutenEase contains a modified Protease Thera-blend with an enzyme activity called DPP-IV. Proteases high in DPP-IV activity assist in normalizing inflammatory response to the gluten peptide, thus better digesting and utilizing gluten containing foods. This proactively supports the gut, allowing proteins to be properly broken down and absorbed in their digested state; broadening the potential food groups a person may eat. GlutenEase may also be used by those who wish to remain on the GFCF diet to ensure complete breakdown of proteins safe and effectively. “

Now…what do I think about it?  I think it is great!  I take them after I eat out at a restaurant or if I eat at someone’s house, just in case, and they really seem to help with the symptoms.  9 times out of 10 I don’t have any symptoms at all and on the 10^th time, the symptoms have been much less than they normally would have been.

Let me make something clear though, these are not made for you to go to a pizzeria, eat a whole pizza and then take a pill and think you’re not going to pay for it later.  These are if you ingested gluten…by accident…in small amounts.
