Because there is so much cross contamination out there, it is wise to always carry a bottle of Gluten Shield whenever you leave home. We use them on a daily basis even at home, as they help us digest our food better. Love this product!

It is not unusual for celiacs,or gluten intolerant to lack the needed enzymes for digestion- I don’t have enough to digest fats- which are important ( omega 3s) . When we first used these a year ago on vacation to help with eating out – my daughter and I loved them and a year later we are still very happy with the way they help digestion

I have been grain free,egg free,and dairy free since August. I have trouble digesting high FODMAP foods and had avoided them all together. Since I have taken gluten shield it helps me to digest foods like onions and garlic so I am able to enjoy some flavor with my meals. I intend on taking it before I eat my Thanksgiving meal this year. Although I still intend on staying gluten free,I know with gluten shield I have a safeguard in case I get accidentally glutened. Thanks Dr. Osborne for always looking out for us.

I have celiac disease, gluten free since 2001. Stopped a raging case of Graves‘ disease in its tracks by going on a gluten free diet. But that was just the start. I was 27 at the time, and had a lot of healing to do.
By 2008 I was on a strict gluten, peanut and dairy free diet. But I was still tired and was tired of gas and bloating. I found Dr. Osborne’s site, started taking gluten shield around 2009, and his multi vitamins (pill form not capsule… I forget what they are called).
I took gluten shield with every meal until probably 2016. I still have some on hand but have not taken it in a long time. It was probably a combination of healing, steady vitamin supplements (eventually switched to Ultra Nutrients), and identifying items in my diet that were not agreeing with me.
The gas only returns if I get lazy or I have tried something new that does not set well.
Gotta say, I have also followed Dr. Osborne’s Vitamin D frontloading each fall for the past 3-4 years and have caughr a cold only once since then. I also drink a Kombucha every day and if it is cold season or I feel a cold coming in, I will also supplement with zinc. Dr. Osborne doesn’t sell the Kombucha but everything else listed here I purchased from him.
I am grateful for his site and great information.

I definitely take it when I eat out, but also a lot at home depending on what I eat.

I’ve only had Gluten Shield for a short time. I have used it 3 times while eating out. One of those three times I did experience heartburn bad enough that I had to take an antacid. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 9 months ago, and I am still struggling with bloating and heartburn from foods that I’m eating. I am looking into eliminating nightshades and possibly doing low Fodmap foods. The list of foods I can safely eat is growing shorter and shorter. I do enjoy eating out and was hoping the Gluten Shield would make a big difference. So far it has not, but I want to give it a fair try. I’m going on vacation in June and will be eating out a lot so it will be going with me for sure.

I’m sorry to say that I have not really given it an honest try. I will say that if I did not trust your science I would not have purchased this product. I bought this for my son who has autism. I have him on numerous supplements. Manny are trial and error. I drop off the ones that do not seem helpful. I will be trying the gluten shield for him shortly. Unfortunately the most difficult part is staying fast to an appropriate diet that does not contain wheat. At some point I hope to implement that. I think you for your follow up.

Dr Osborne literally saved my life. I was having gluten issues unknowingly approximately nine years ago. I had every test imaginable by every type of test imaginable buy all kinds of doctors. None of them could figure it out. They said it was in my head. One even wanted me to see a psychiatrist. Fortunately a friend of mine turned me onto Dr Osborne’s website gluten free society.org . Once I learned about the true gluten free diet eliminating all grains including corn and rice. Two weeks after following Dr Osborne’s advice which I only Learned from his great website. I have been using gluten shield whatever I do venture out to eat at a restaurant and it works great. I strongly recommend taking Dr Osbornes advice. Even though I never met Dr Osborne personally I truly believe he save my life. I will always be grateful and recommend his website to his many people as I can.

I have purchased my fourth bottle of Gluten Shield from Dr. Osborne. I was diagnosed with NCGS last year and went on a gluten-free diet. We eat out occasionally and since I don’t always know if there might be some gluten in the food I use the Gluten Shield as a added protection at those times. It has been a life saver for me as it allows me to dine out without the fears of the repercussions of unknown gluten in the foods I have no control over. It truly works well for me and if you are gluten-sensitive it is definitely worth a try. I never knowingly eat anything with gluten and that is NOT what Gluten Shield was designed for. This supplement is an added protection against the unknowns in your foods. Thank you Dr. Osborne for a great product!!

Hello – I don’t know what to say about Gluten Shield exactly because I can’t detect any impact.

When home I use Dr. Bush’s Restore product prior to meals to close the gut junctures to assist with healing of autoimmune/Hashimoto’s/Vitaligo/Cancer Hx. I see this product as helping me perpetuate my healing intentions…I just can’t rate it for effectiveness with no clear evidence. Thanks for asking
