Our History
GluteGuard is the culmination of decades of Australian clinical and scientific research. Early work by Prof. Hugh Cornell illustrating the biochemical composition of gluten, has been instrumental to today’s understanding of gluten’s toxicity in gluten related disorders.
Prof. Hugh Cornell, a former Professor of Biological Chemistry at the RMIT University and Dr. Teodor Stelmasiak a veterinary pathologist with over 25 years of experience in pharmaceutical research, hypothesised that if the right enzyme is delivered to the gastrointestinal tract prior to the consumption of foods, it could complete the digestion of the toxic and immunogenic gluten peptides and protect patients against the effects caused by inadvertent gluten ingestion.
This was followed by the discovery of Caricain, which became the catalyst for the establishment of Glutagen by Dr Stelmasiak in 2001 and the subsequent development of GluteGuard.
