Combination Enzyme Therapy for Gastric Digestion of Dietary Gluten in Celiac Sprue Patients

摘要

Combination enzyme products and methods of use thereof are provided. Aspergillopepsin I is combined with a protease enzyme that provides for an additive or synergistic effect in the digestion of toxic gluten oligopeptides. The enzyme products are useful in the treatment of Celiac Sprue patients, particularly for patients who continue to exhibit signs or symptoms of active disease despite following a gluten-free diet.
