I think a zinc deficiency is likely for those with either gluten or cesium issues, at least that is what I read. The right nutritional supplements can help with reducing the allergic reaction in some people. But, the hardest part is getting a doctor who can help with the right combination of nutritional supplements you need.

Enzymes may help the allergy/sensitivity issue OR just help your digestion overall. I think adults can probably benefit from taking enzymes if they have some food issues or even digestive problems. Again, finding the right enzymes can be the hardest part sometimes. Trial and error is needed because everyone is different, really.

But employing all of the things that can help is probably the best method; that means nutritional support, improving digestion with enzymes and possibly bi-carbonate too, and perhaps some diet adjustments, like a rotation diet for some or avoiding addictives and artificial colorings.

Sometimes using enzymes on an empty stomach can also help. The allergic response is an inflammatory response and proteolytic enzymes are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. So using systemic enzymes can be helpful too.
