Can enzyme products replace the GFCF diet?
Some have wondered whether enzyme products such as Peptizyde are meant to replace the gluten-free/casein-free diet. After much feedback from parents on the use of these products, the answer is now: “Definitely” for some, and “quite possibly” for many others. HNI believes that these enzyme products can produce as good, or even better results, than the GFCF diet. It is not the position of Houston Nutraceuticals to detract from the usefulness of the GFCF diet. We feel that high-quality enzyme products such as Peptizyde are meant to achieve the same purpose as that of the diet: to reduce the amount of exorphin peptides produced from diet. Based on well-characterized mechanisms of enzyme actions, one may assume that supplementation of the GFCF diet with Peptizyde helps to not only reduce or inhibit the production of exorphins from food proteins, but supports digestion, insures complete degradation of food proteins, and increases bioavailability of food proteins. HNI is, however, committed t
