It stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder, a larger umbrella that Aspergers falls under. If I understand you then i am not. >And what I have is HN-Zyme Prime That looks pretty good. I may switch to this at some point. But what would it matter if it was >Peptizyde I am not ingesting *any* gluten.(And i am not interested in >finding a way to eat gluten. The interest in enzymes is just to >enhance my digestion, especially since I am not eating any ferments) Gotcha. Absolutely no chance of contamination either? Even if so, I doubt that Peptizyde would be a problem, unless perhaps you are ultra-sensitive to gluten and even then, it doesn't have the same effect on every person. >I think I remember that the problem here was that the Peptizyde would >cause the gliaden to get through the gut wall more easily. Hmmm...I don't recally reading that anywhere, but I tend to doubt that's the issue. Peptizyde contains an enzyme called DPP IV which cleaves gluteomorphin peptides which are only 7 amino acids long. These are the peptides that bind with receptors in the brain and cause behavioral and cognitive problems. The gluten peptide (gliadin) which causes Celiac-type folks a problem is *33* amino acids long. I *think* it's different than the gluteomorphin peptide, although I suppose the gluteomorphin peptide could be a part of the larger gliadin chain, but I haven't been able to find out if this has been studied. But if i >am not ASD and not eating gluten what would be the problem....except >that it is still in a veg cap....Could I just empty the cap onto my food? Yes. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.
