Enzymedica's GlutenEase - an enzyme to assist digestion of gluten?

[lorreann]

I find the attitude of the moderator (Dave?) a little disturbing. I am on a strict gluten free diet but I also take digestive enzymes AND Gluten Ease because I feel they add an additional benefit of digestive help. I don't see the necessity of trashing this company since ANY help in research or products to help with gluten intolerance is welcome. There is currently NO cure for Celiac and if we trash people trying to help we won't get anywhere. I find that the Gluten Ease helps me-especially since I still eat dairy. I don't take it in place of a gluten free diet-but along with it. It's not that I don't appreciate what everyone is saying against false claims-I just don't see why you need to be so ugly to the President of the company when he was sincerely attempting to communicate on this subject and may have been willing to change his claims and labeling. Just some imput from a first time visitor. Thanks!

For people with a gluten allergy, not celiac disease, Glutenease is incredibly helpful. I have tried it and, while I still feel differently, I don't suffer from the full gamut of symptoms for days and days. It is nice to have in your purse for those times when you talk to a clueless waiter and later he claims your food is gluten free but you're not quite trusting of it.

I agree with the poster above me. People should be supportive of any progress against gluten that is made, whether for celiac disease or a simple gluten allergy.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Therefore, by their own admission, this product DOES NOT TREAT CELIAC DISEASE.

I'm not one to randomly post random messages on random forums (and do it only once!) but...this statement is ridiculous!  You do realize that every single vitamin and mineral 'drug' out there has this same statement on the bottle.  Do you take multi-vitamins?  Do you use iodine laced salt?  Do you take vitamin D laced milk?

Exactly.  The.  Same.  Concept.

And no, I'm not a part of whatever company we're talking about but rather a celiac that randomly came across this forum post and felt the need to correct ridiculous statements such as this.  Hell, I'll give anybody my cell phone number if you believe I am in anyway anything but a lonely--highly tipsy--individual that is doing nothing but seeking the basics about this product.

Anything that states "not intended to treat" or "not evaluated by the FDA" is, by definition, a homeopathic remedy.  Although I feel most things (such as acupuncture and "psychics") fall under this realm you must also remember that vitamins, minerals, yoga, and the like are all considered homeopathic remedies.

I cannot believe I replied to a post on a dead forum.  What a waste of my time, and the time of anybody that happened upon this lethargic forum.  May it be the last!
