Sharing is caring!
If gluten still bothers you even when you’re careful, you’re not imagining it.
Cross-contamination occurs.
Restaurants make mistakes.
Traveling messes everything up.
This is not about “cheating” on your gut healing plan.
It’s about having a practical tool for real life, where digestive enzymes can support you in specific situations.
THE PROBLEM: Why Gluten Reactions Still Occur
Here’s the truth: Even if you do everything “right,” gluten can still sneak in.
Hidden gluten shows up in places you would never expect.
Sauces. Seasonings. Shared kitchen equipment.
Cross-contamination is real.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that major commercial oat brands could not be trusted to be gluten-free due to contamination during harvesting, transportation, milling and processing.
Your digestive system may be sensitive.
As your intestines heal from SIBO, IBS, or other digestive issues, you respond to smaller amounts of gluten than you used to tolerate.
The incomplete breakdown of gluten proteins causes problems.
Gluten contains proteins called prolamins (particularly gliadin in wheat) that are notoriously difficult to fully digest.
Research published in Gastroenterology shows that these partially digested gluten fragments can cause inflammatory responses, even in people without celiac disease.
And let’s talk about the fear. The ongoing concerns about accidental exposure? That stress alone affects your digestion.
Key message: This is not a matter of willpower. It’s a digestive problem.

Who is Gluten Away good for?
Gluten gone works best for specific people in specific situations.
People with gluten sensitivity (not celiac disease) who experience bloating, fatigue, or digestive problems after exposure to gluten often benefit from targeted enzyme support.
Those who are mostly gluten-free but still respond to trace amounts will find this helpful. [I’m in this category. My gut is healed, but I’m still aware of cross-contamination.]
Eating out or traveling makes avoiding gluten almost impossible.
I always pack Gluten Away when I’m not cooking my own food. [See THIS article on traveling to Vietnam and eating all the things.]
Social situations where asking 47 questions about each ingredient feels tiring? This gives you backup.
Early gut healing phases, when your tolerance is lower and responses are stronger, need extra digestive support.
People who want support, not extremes.
You heal your gut and don’t live in a bubble forever.
Who GlutenAway is Not For
People with celiac disease should not use this as a license to eat gluten.
Celiac disease There is an autoimmune reaction in which even small amounts of gluten cause intestinal damage.
According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, there is no enzyme that makes gluten safe for people with celiac disease.
Gluten Away is NOT a substitute for strict avoidance of gluten if you have celiac disease.
Those who intentionally eat large amounts of gluten should not expect it to work miracles. This enzyme helps break down small, accidental exposures. No plate of pasta.
Anyone expecting this to “fix” intestinal damage will be disappointed.
Enzymes support digestion. They do not cure leaky gut or reverse inflammation. That requires the complete gut healing approach that I teach in my programs.
Severe reactions that require strict avoidance require more than just enzymes.
If you have anaphylactic reactions or severe autoimmune reactions to gluten, avoidance is the only safe option.
Gluten Away supports digestion. It doesn’t make gluten safe for everyone.
Why I specifically love Gluten Away
I have tested dozens of digestive enzyme products during my twenty-plus years of healing gut problems.
And in fact I have a digestive enzyme, Abortin my supplement line at Gutbyo[me].
Gluten Away is specially designed for gluten proteins.
Most common digestive enzymes generally target fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. This focuses on the actual problem proteins in wheat, rye and barley.
It survives digestion. Many enzymes are broken down in your stomach acid before they reach the small intestine, where gluten digestion takes place.
Gluten Away uses enzymes that remain active in the acidic stomach environment.
It focuses on the problem rather than masking the symptoms. This is not about cosmetically reducing bloating. It’s about actually breaking down gluten proteins into smaller, less reactive fragments.
Easy to use when needed. Take it just before meals if you suspect gluten exposure.
It fits real life: restaurants, travel, strangers. The situations where gut healing people are really struggling.
Breaking down versus removing gluten: which one and when?
People often ask me about the difference between Break Down (my extended digestive enzyme) and Gluten Away.
Both support digestion, but they are designed for different situations.
Breakdown (A brave girl) contains:
- Betaine HCl: 200 mg
- GastroZNE™ proprietary blend: 180 mg including:
- Ox bile extract
- Peptidase (DPPIV)
- Amylases
- Pepsin
- Proteases
- Glucoamylase
- Lactase
- Invert
- Lipase
Gluten away (just thrive) contains:
- Proprietary Probiotic Blend (5 Billion CFU): 140 mg
- Bacillus subtilis HU58™
- Bacillus coagulans (SC-208)
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM-I-1079
- Protease (acid stable): 100 mg
- Tolerase® G-prolyl endopeptidase: 77.5 mg
- Betaine HCl: 75 mg
The most important differences
Gluten Away is laser focused on gluten. It contains Tolerase® G, a specific enzyme that targets gluten proteins.
Plus, it contains probiotics that support your gut as you heal from gluten exposure.
Break Down is a comprehensive digestive support. It helps you digest proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dairy (lactase) and yes, gluten (DPPIV).
It also contains ox bile for fat digestion and higher betaine HCl for stomach acid support.
When I use them all
I use Break Down when:
- I eat a large, rich meal (lots of protein and fat)
- I eat dairy (the lactase helps)
- My stomach acid feels low (more betaine HCl)
- I need broad digestive support, not just gluten help
- I’m cooking my own food at home
I use Gluten Away when:
- Cross-contamination with gluten is my main concern
- I eat out and gluten is the biggest risk
- I travel internationally
- I want the probiotic support in addition to enzyme help
- The meal is simple, but gluten exposure is likely
Can you use both?
Sometimes.
If I’m eating a heavy restaurant meal where both gluten exposure and general digestion are important, I’ll have both. One capsule of each.
But most of the time? Choose the one that suits your situation.
Break Down is in my kitchen. Gluten Away is in my bag.
That’s how I think about them.
How I suggest using Gluten Away
Here is my personal protocol after years of testing.
- Use before meals when exposure is possible. Not every meal. Only the ones where gluten can sneak in.
- Think of it as an insurance policy, not a permission. You still choose gluten-free options. This is a backup for accidents.
- Combine with gut healing, not instead. Enzymes support your gut while you do the deeper work of healing. They are not a substitute for addressing root causes such as SIBO, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities.
- Listen to your body. If you still have a strong reaction despite using Gluten Away, that meal contained more gluten than enzymes can handle. Make a note of it and avoid that restaurant or dish next time.
- Consistency over perfection. Some protection is better than none. Some gut healing is better than paralysis by trying to be perfect.
Quick reminder: the goal is fewer reactions, not fear-free eating gluten.
Clear next step
You’re not broken because you react to gluten.
You can support your feelings without living in extremes.
You can have tools to help you navigate real life while you are healing.
Gluten Away is one of those tools.
Try it deliberately in situations where you know exposure may occur. See how your body reacts. Adjust accordingly.

Frequently asked questions
Is this safe for celiac disease? No. People with celiac disease should continue to strictly avoid gluten. No enzyme makes gluten safe for celiac disease.
Can I take this daily? You can, but most people use it as needed before meals where gluten exposure is likely. Daily use is not necessary if you eat gluten-free at home.
Is this the same as probiotics? No. Probiotics support your intestinal bacteria. Enzymes help break down food. They work differently and serve different purposes. [I use Just Thrive Probiotics alongside Gluten Away for comprehensive gut support.]
