If you're allergic to wheat or dairy and have eaten food with it in, then dpp iv can be taken at that time, but it's not a good idea to still eat wheat and dairy and hope the enzymes will make life easier! I take dpp iv between meals, and it seems to have a calming head clearing effect - also tried serrapeptase (from silk worms) and nattokinase (from soya) for their anti-inflammatory effects.
IDO is indoleamine oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down tryptophan during inflammation and infection - it's an enzyme we make ourselves and is thought to increase the chances of depression when our immune system is upregulated through infection or inflammation.
