Gluten/Dairy Digest Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Gluten/Dairy Digest against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gluten/Dairy Digest by Pure Encapsulations
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Gluten/Dairy Digest contains 3 active ingredients: lactase, a protease blend (Tolerase G and BioCore Dairy), and other components. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk and dairy products.
Protease is another enzyme that works in the digestive tract to help break down proteins. The product also contains cellulose and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance. There isn't enough reliable evidence to rate its use for prematurity or colic.
Protease effectiveness ratings are not established in the data we hold, so we cannot say whether this product works for any particular condition beyond what lactase covers.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lactase is generally well tolerated. Rarely, allergic reactions to lactase (such as contact dermatitis or allergic rhinitis and eye symptoms) have been reported in people exposed to powdered lactase, typically in occupational settings.
Protease is generally well tolerated for most adults but may occasionally cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. Because protease safety has not been established in pregnancy, it is best avoided during pregnancy unless a doctor prescribes it.
During breastfeeding, there is little safety data for protease, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it. Lactase is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation.
For Tolerase G, we hold no safety data.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product makes sense if you have trouble digesting lactose or want enzyme support for dairy and gluten-containing foods. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any history of allergic reactions to enzymes, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — protease safety is not well established in these situations.
Check your exact medications on this page before you start, and let your doctor know you're taking it.
