Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Gluten Digest

Have a Question?

Ask a Question

What do gluten digest pills do?

Gluten digest pills, such as NOW Foods Gluten Digest, contain enzymes designed to break down gluten proteins in the digestive tract. These supplements aim to assist in the digestion of gluten-containing foods, potentially reducing symptoms associated with gluten sensitivity or mild gluten intolerance. It's important to note that while these pills may help some individuals, they are not a cure for celiac disease or severe gluten allergies.
How digestible is gluten?

Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, can be challenging for some people to digest fully. For individuals with normal digestive function, gluten is typically broken down and absorbed without issues. However, for those with gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, or certain digestive disorders, gluten can be difficult to digest and may cause various gastrointestinal symptoms or other health issues.
How can I help my gluten digest?

To aid in gluten digestion, several strategies can be employed. Using enzyme supplements like NOW Foods Gluten Digest may help break down gluten proteins more effectively. Additionally, thoroughly chewing food, eating slowly, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber and probiotics can support overall digestive health. Some people find that reducing overall gluten intake or choosing ancient wheat varieties like spelt or einkorn may be easier to digest.
Do gluten enzymes really work?

Gluten enzymes, such as those found in NOW Foods Gluten Digest, have shown promise in helping some individuals digest gluten more effectively. While they may provide relief for people with mild gluten sensitivity, it's important to note that results can vary significantly between individuals. These enzymes are not a cure for celiac disease or severe gluten allergies and should not be used as a substitute for a gluten-free diet in such cases.
What enzyme kills gluten?

The primary enzyme that breaks down gluten is called prolyl endopeptidase (PEP), also known as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). This enzyme specifically targets the proline-rich sequences in gluten proteins, helping to break them down into smaller, less problematic peptides. Many gluten digest supplements, including those from NOW Foods, typically contain DPP-IV along with other supportive enzymes to aid in gluten digestion.
Does gluten damage the gut?

For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten can indeed cause damage to the gut. In celiac disease, gluten triggers an autoimmune response that damages the small intestine's lining, leading to various health issues. For those with gluten sensitivity, gluten consumption may cause inflammation and digestive discomfort. However, for people without these conditions, moderate gluten consumption as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with gut damage.
