Works Fairly Well, But It's Strong on Stomach
"I bought these for the first time about a month or so ago after reading about them online. I haven't been diagnosed with Celiac's, but gluten tears me apart when I consume it. I'm talking symptoms all over (headaches, body aches, rashes, nausea, fatigue, etc). I've been gluten free for about 2 years now, but I sometimes have small gluten exposures when cooking (spice mixes) or eating out (cross contamination), which leaves me feeling awful for days after.
These capsules work fairly well for me. They keep my symptoms at bay, but because they're extra strength I sometimes get nauseous after taking them. It lasts about 30 minutes, then subsides. I think the enzymes are working to break down gluten, but they're really hard on my stomach so I feel woozy and sick for a half hour after taking them.
I would recommend trying them to ward off gluten symptoms, but with the warning that you may feel sick after taking them due to their strength. Sometimes if I take them on a full tummy the nausea isn't so bad, as opposed to taking them with a lighter meal."
It works on my severe gluten intolerance.
"I was diagnosed with severe gluten intolerance. I react with sores in my mouth and tung, severe diarrhea, bloating and stomach cramps. I took two capsules for before three meals of Enzymedica, Gluten Ease Extra Strength before I ate gluten and had only a small amount of bloating. I can have what I want when I go out to eat now, just love the product."
I can eat bread again!
"I have had a gluten allergy/intolerance/whatever you want to call it for over a decade. I went grain free and low carb to lose weight and after deciding to have a sandwich one day - my body couldn't handle gluten anymore. I do NOT have celiac, and was tested for it. Whenever I accidentally had gluten (usually at a restaurant that screwed up my order) I'd be hit with symptoms like horrid food poisoning. It felt like live coals burning their way through my stomach and intestines. I'd vomit for hours. HOURS. I'd be on the toilet at the same time as holding a bucket in my lap. I'd break out in hives, and feel like I'm burning up.
Eating out, or going to any family function has always been such a great deal of stress. If you're reading this - you know. Your sister in law made some dish and you're trying to explain the cream of mushroom soup is flour based and you're not saying no just to start trouble. They don't get it.
We are moving out of state. All our friends want to take us to dinner before we leave. Quadruple anxiety for me. $18 for a bunless burger and can't even eat the fries because they're coated in crispy flour.
I ordered these expecting to spend the day vomiting. I had one, waited a few minutes and then took a bite of the first real pizza in over a decade. I waited. Nothing. Took another bite. Nothing. Waited. Ate the first slice, and had a stress headache anticipating the eventual sickness. NOTHING. Like a pig I destroyed 2 more slices of heavenly pizza and still wasn't sick.
These pills are an absolute GAME CHANGER for me. The only side effects I experienced were a slight headache and a slight scratchy throat like when you have allergies. No vomiting. No hot coals in my stomach feeling. No burning up. No hives.
I'm almost in tears as I type this. The cost of this bottle is NOTHING compared to the ridiculous costs of dry, nasty gluten free products. The last GF bread I've been buying is $8.50 a loaf! And it's not low carb.
Now with these pills, I can easily buy so many of the gluten low carb options and enjoy life without worrying. The money I will also save, plus the stress reduction is WORTH EVERY CENT."
