Each grain has its own unique prolamin fractions; gliadin wheat , secalin rye , and hordein barley.
The prolamin fraction consists of two sub groups gliadins, which are alcohol soluble, and glutenins which are not soluble in alcohol. Each grain has its own specific sequence of gliadins and glutenins which consist of hundreds of specific components and amino acid sequences. The specific protein components and amino acid sequences make it possible to identify the grain and even the cultivated strain of the grain. The amino acid sequencing is the specific grains own fingerprint.
These strands of amino acids with their specific make up and sequencing are the building blocks of proteins in general and grain proteins specifically. In normal digestion these long strands of protein are broken down by digestive enzymes. The enzymes cleave or break off groups of amino acids called peptides. Glutalytic can serve as a safeguard against accidental gluten consumption, helping to break down those proteins before they begin to wreak havoc on the digestive system.
Glutalytic is not intended to replace a gluten free diet, and is not intended for those with Celiac disease. Learn more about gluten digestion and Glutalytic at deerland. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

There is a second consideration for those with gluten-related disorders interested in using digestive enzymes of any kind.
While there is no evidence-based clinical research to support the use of enzymes in celiac disease, some people have found relief from trialing digestive enzymes to help with symptoms, such as gas and bloating, related to poor digestion in general. Unlike medications which are chemically synthesized in a factory, enzymes must be produced by a living organism, such as yeast or bacteria. Tricia Thompson, Luke Emerson and I wrote an article on probiotics and digestive enzymes that I discuss below.
These microorganisms may be grown on media that may include ingredients derived from gluten-containing grain i. When we read the label of a digestive enzyme, we can see the bacterial or mold strain listed but the label does not typically include the type of growth media used. The FDA has proposed a rule for gluten-free labeling of fermented or hydrolyzed foods - this includes digestive enzymes and probiotics. However, the specifics on how products containing bacteria and mold cultivated on wheat, barley or rye will be regulated for compliance is not clear.
We also include a list of questions at the end of the article that consumers can ask a digestive enzyme or probiotic company if they choose to use these products.
Make sure the product is labeled gluten-free.

Diagnosed with celiac disease in , she specializes in the nutritional treatment of patients with celiac disease and gluten-related disorders. Melinda lectures internationally and has written extensively on the nutritional management of celiac disease including the award-winning book Real Life with Celiac Disease.
Melinda was the original founder of NCA in and so it is only fitting that she comes back to us in this capacity.
