Not that I am aware of...doesn't mean it doesn't exist...but usually

enzymes are used to help with Lactose intolerance, not casein

sensitivity. If you find one, let me know! :)

DPP IV will break down casein, gluten and soy. Most enzyme products

contain no DPP IV activity. However the chances that someone who is

sensitive to gluten can consume gluten with enzymes containing DPP IV

is dependent on the enzyme itself, time away from gluten and the

person. I think Houston's peptizyde has had the best success rate with

this, more than Klaire and Kirkman. There are some cheaper enzymes

that contain DPP IV, and Country Life sells a product that is

specifically for gluten digestion. Every supplier's enzyme is made

differently even if it has the same (DPP IV, general protease, etc)

activity, and they are all optimized for specific pH ranges.

Note also that supplemental zinc disables a person's natural DPP IV

activity.

Enzymedica has one too - Glutenease.
