Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 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. Jay > > I'd have him try 3-4 weeks dairy free...NO dairy at all due to casein > > protein.
