Nature's Way Gluten Defense, Digestive Enzyme Supplement*, 120 Capsules

These are excellent pills that allow to eat BOTH gluten and lactose while only taking one pill. A great product I recommend for gluten and lactose intolerant people.

I diagnosed myself as gluten intolerant a couple years ago due to every time I ate something I became bloated, uncomfortable and gassy. Then 1 night a few months after having a heavy gluten weekend I became so ill I was asking God to just go ahead and end it! I would rush to the bathroom not knowing which end was gonna explode, along with the cramping & cold sweats, I was sweating profusely but freezing at the same time! So, I removed gluten from my life. And even tho that helped and assured me that my self diagnosis was right, I missed eating the things I loved. I searched for something to block gluten and this product came up and I ordered it, and it WORKS! I was able to eat at restaurants that don’t have a gluten free option, because I do not eat salad, won’t touch it so it’s difficult to find places to eat. Then today at work I brought cupcakes for my coworkers, I ate one around 4:30 w/o taking my Gluten Defense and I now know for sure THIS PRODUCT WORKS!! As I am typing this I am miserable!! The cramping, the bloating the cold sweats are back! I just want to cry I’m in so much pain! Never again will I tempt fait and eat something I know has gluten in it without taking this pill!!

i'm going to give these 5 stars for now. I'm pretty sensitive to anything that has gluten, beers, breads, crackers, almost everything seems to give me a reaction these days. Get crazy inflammation and blood pressure side effects, headaches, gut aches. But you know, some days you have a craving for something and when you do i'd rather break down as much as i can. The more it breaks down to other components the less side effects i'll get is the theory behind these things, and i believe these work to some effect. This morning i ate a bfast burrito, took two gluten defense, so far no adverse affects. Sometimes it hits me later in the day, or the next day, so i'll post again later if i get any of my usual side effects. But as a new product to me, i'll always start off with 5 stars and go from there. Stay tuned. Ok, last night had a half piece of pumpkin cake, with two capsules. So far i'm still doing ok, i dont think it broke down everything as i had a very slight side effect which was my bp was a little higher, but it wasn't the normal high blood pressure reaction, so i think so far it is helping break down some of the gluten. Today, i'm venturing further with a slice of dave's healthy bread, and maybe a hotdog with bun. I dont want to add too much gluten back abruptly as it could trigger a pretty bad reaction, but so far i'm doing ok on these. Will report more as i venture with different gluten sources. So it's been about 3 days, i've totally eaten more gluten then i have in 6 months this weekend. I even tried the glutiny beer that uses probably the same enzymes to break down the gluten in the beer. But so far, no gut ache, no pressure headaches, no dizzyness, no gas, bloat, no stomach ailments, feel ok. My side effects and inflammation doesn't seem to be out of control because i haven't gotten the morning high blood pressure that i normally get from gluten. I still wouldn't recommend celiac disease people to indulge in gluten but it's the occasional times that you have to have that piece of pie. I'm sticking with my gluten free diet, but it was nice to eat a few gluten products over the weekend and not feel deathly sick. Comparing this with Now, swansons, this seems to work slightly better. Update 12/10/16 Bought more of this, seems like it does work better then some of the other gluten enyzme products, and not sure if it's because it has other enzymes as well to break down other substances, like sucrase, lactase, cellulase, lipase 1,2, amylase as well as the dpp IV, but haven't had any stomach aches, or emegency bathroom moments lol. I've had a burger last night with fries and i was ok, i'm taking between 2-4 at a time, if a few slices of bread or a burger, i take 2-3, if i have any more gluten with it, a cookie or something. And i'm also lactose intollerant, usually whole milk or rich ice cream/yogurt will usually incur a bathroom visit within hours of ingesting. I ate a noosa (super delicious yogurt) and was fine when i took this enyzme with my meal that had gluten just 30 min earlier. So my verdict is, it will help some of you like me that are gluten intollerant, but if you have full blown celiac then dont' chance it. I lost a lot of weight from probably intestinal damage and weird allergy symptoms from probably a bad leaky gut, i still dont gain weight like i used to, so i think the damage has been done. But as i continue to mainly avoid most gluten containing foods during the weekdays and just enjoy some gluten on the weekend, like this morning i had a slice of bread with peanut butter, which i haven't had in a few years, with 3 capsules, i still feel fine. I think the main thing is if you are getting the autoimmune reactions still after using this, then dont chance it. It's not worth the possible damage to major organs to have that piece of cake.

So far, this and Mary Ruth’s are the only ones that help. Glutwnease didn’t work for me and I prefer this. Still, only works with smaller amounts of gluten on an off day. Refer to the ingredients, which is what help over other brands.

These help when there may be hidden gluten.

I have an issue with casein and this helps me not get violently ill, I pair it with ox bile and it’s h to e perfect combo.

Wonderful, im gluten sensible and this really works

In case Amazon is having a problem (they wanted me to rate it's thickness and sheerness for this product) I wanted to make sure everyone knew this is for Nature's Way Gluten Defense. I'm allergic to gluten and for me it manifest itself with a bad skin rash. If we order food out and I order things that I believe should be GF, Like salads without croutons, wontons, etc., and certain soups, I'll take these just in case and most times everything is fine. If I have to taste something to be able to tell (like buffalo cauliflower whose discription did not mention a batter and it's drenched in sauce so I can't visually tell) and it taste like there was a batter to it so other than that one taste, I stop eating it, then the Gluten Defense doesn't seem to have helped much. So I would recommend this product with that in mind. I would not want anyone who really needs to be careful to assume that the name of this product means you will be protected from gluten's effect as long as you take this product.

Pas tester volontairement avec du gluten ( on vas pas faire exprès non plus :) , mais comme je mange des produits avec "traces éventuelles de gluten " et jusque la pas de signe d'ingestion accidentelle de gluten ... a vous de voir .

Product is good but Aramex shipping is trash. Stay clear from Aramex or have your shipping delayed by an incompetent logistics company.

He probado varias marcas y aunque se supone que la composición es la misma no me hacen tanto efecto como esta marca. No soy celíaca pero sí me sienta bastante mal la digestión del gluten. Estas pastillas me ayudan bastante cuando en algún momento no tengo más remedio que comer algo que tenga gluten. No es apto para celíacos, solo para sensibles al gluten no celíacos.

Helps a bit, but the only real gluten defense is total avoidance.

Works very well for sensitive digestion, gives me confidence daily, this is def my go to now
