They’re getting paid. You’re getting played.

If you spend any time on celiac social media, you’ve probably seen influencers (ack!) pushing gluten enzymes and the NIMA sensor.

They make them sound like must-haves.

They’re not.

Gluten enzymes like Gluten Ease and Gluten Cutter have zero scientific evidence that they protect you from cross-contamination.

The NIMA sensor only tests a tiny sample of your meal and does not accurately test fermented or hydrolyzed foods, such as soy sauce, beer, malt vinegar, or food cooked with them.

So why are influencers promoting them?

Because they get paid to. That’s it.

Oh…and they have no shame.

Save your money. 

The one thing that actually reduces your risk when eating out is knowing which restaurants can be trusted to keep you safe before you walk in.

Not a pill. Not a gadget.

Information.

That’s what Gluten Dude does. Every restaurant is researched for cross-contamination practices.

    Yeah my partner we’ll say fell prey to said influencers multiple times and eventually became near enraged, etc, with frustration when I agreed with how it would be nice to have something that actually works for testing for gluten, but refused to act on the Nima sensor offers. I had reservations, but he was convinced and wanted me to sign up for it, so we were at an impasse until the benefits program stopped being advertised. I never spent the money. It shows how those influencers are, because he still refuses to believe that it isn’t worth the purchase. Honestly it should be considered false advertising. Makes me sick.
