Glutalytic is a pastented blend of enzymes that aids in digestion of gluten, as well as egg, soy and dairy proteins. Most products that aid in the digestion of gluten only use a singular enzyme approach, however Gluten Rescue is uniquely designed to break down gluten proteins faster by attacking the peptide bonds in two ways. This makes Gluten Rescue with Glutalytic superior to current gluten aids on the market today that rely primarily on the DPPIV enzyme.
Anyone tried it? Small chance this will work I guess.
If the glutalytic works, does it reduce inflammation in the gut, or just allow you to eat gluten and eggs, without helping with the inflammation? Just curious. Thanks,
Terry

Products such as these do not allow someone who is gluten or egg sensitive to just chow down on a plate full of gluten or eggs, but if you eat a meal that's claimed to be gluten-free and it happens to be cross-contaminated, usually taking one of these pills will minimize or prevent a reaction, if you take it in time. It offers a fairly safe way to eat out (as long as you only order gluten-free foods and the food is not grossly cross-contaminated). If the amount of gluten is more than a small amount though, all bets are off.
Therefore, used properly, the product should prevent any significant amount of inflammation from developing because of trace amounts of gluten. It will not have any effect on preexisting inflammation, however. IOW, it does not treat inflammation. Rather, it's a way to prevent inflammation in the event your meal turns out to be cross-contaminated.

This is very very convenient for me since I live in Asia and can’t escape the fact to have to eat out once in a while. It’s a little bit safer this way.
Would this maybe make the gluten-free beers that are under 5ppm safe to drink? Or is this playing with fire?
As far as I'm aware, most celiacs can tolerate those very low gluten beers (as long as they don't overdo it), so I don't see any reason. why most of us shouldn't be able to tolerate them as well (after we're in stable remission). If they cause any issues, then I would try one or more of these enzyme pills, next time.
But this is just my opinion — I've never actually tried one (low-gluten beer, or gluten-digesting type pill).
Keep your eyes open for long-term effects. IOW, if a product causes low-level inflammation, you might start noticing symptoms a few weeks or a few months later and mistakenly blame it on something else in your diet.

So far as is it playing with fire, this depends, everyone is different AND as we know there are many triggers.
Once in remission (ie minimal symptoms most of the time) most can handle eating out here and there etc.
albeit there are times that if there are other factors at play ( higher histamine and/or stress and/or immune system fighting a bug etc) then eating out and having small amount of known trigger can cause major flare
There are many posts and discussions where this has happened.
Each person has to listen to their body. There is no black a white answers for this type of thing.
