Abstract
This invention relates to the use of an acidic soft drink for improving the efficiency of gluten digestion and more specifically of a gluten-digesting enzyme supplement. Said use allows maintaining or enhancing gastrointestinal comfort in celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals, or delaying the onset of gastrointestinal discomfort in non-celiac gluten sensitive healthy individuals using a reduced amount of gluten-digesting enzyme. Furthermore, it relates to an acidic soft drink having a pH in the range of 2 to 3.5 for use to support gluten digestion, and to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort following the ingestion of a gluten-containing meal by a gluten-sensitive consumer.
