Bonus Tip: Meet Your Safety Net Against the Symptoms of Accidental Gluten Ingestion
Even with the best intentions, eating out can be risky. Hidden gluten is sneaky, and cross-contamination may occur. That's where GluteGuard® comes in.
GluteGuard® can be helpful as an extra layer of protection against the symptoms of accidental gluten ingestion. Supported by clinical studies1,2, GluteGuard®'s enzyme, Caricain, helps to break down gluten before it interacts with the intestinal lining, helping to protect against the symptoms that could occur in gluten-sensitive individuals3. GluteGuard® should be used in conjunction with a gluten-free diet and before a meal.
Final Thoughts
Toronto's gluten-free scene is vibrant, inclusive, and full of flavor. And with GluteGuard® in your pocket, you can explore it with even more confidence. So go ahead—book that brunch, plan that dinner date, and enjoy every bite.
