Digestive enzymes?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

New here, glad to find the forum :-) I was wondering if anyone has tried

digestive enzyme supplements? I have some severe food

sensitivities I was hoping they might address:

 

Gluten: eating causes severe muscle pain/tightness in neck/shoulders/arms.

 

Dairy: eating causes reddish rash along neck and forearms.

 

Sugar: eating causes blisters on hands, and feeds above rash similar to

dairy.

 

Alcohol: identical results to sugar, but more intense/profound.

 

Also inhalant allergies/sensitivities, house dust, cat dander, fragrances,

etc. all create athsma, reddish/itchy eyes, sinus congestion/sneezy etc.

 

But in general, even though I avoid the above foods, I suffer from muscle

pain and fatigue similar to fibromyalgia-like symptoms. Some Drs have

diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. When I use my muscles, they fatigue easily

and end up hurting afterwards. From my own research, I believe I suffer from

Leaky Gut Syndrome, and also know my liver is overloaded and have benefited

from liver cleanses/flushes (the olive oil/lemon juice kind). My digestion

is horrible and I believe my colon/intestines to be in dire need of

cleansing.

 

On that note, I should point out that the dairy + sugar + alcohol problems

seem to be classic Candida sensitivities. So my questions are:

 

Do I need to first get the Candida under control? Or could I not have

Candida at all, rather severe lack of enzyme problems mimicking Candida? I

was thinking of starting to take ThreeLac for the Candida, but want to make

sure I really need it, and if so, that I can take enzymes simultaneously.

Or is it foolish to think about anything before properly cleaning out the

colon?

 

Here¹s some interesting info on enzymes and their connection to overall

health:

Long, but an interesting read for sure. Mind blowing @ times!

 

So does anyone have any info, experience or advise?

 

Thanks! :-)

P.S. Here are some conditions supposedly associated with the decreased

levels of each individual enzyme:

 

Protease (digests proteins): anxiety, low blood sugar, kidney problems,

water retention; depressed immunity, bacterial and viral infections, cancer,

appendicitis, bone problems such as: osteoporosis, arthritis, and bone

spurs.

 

Amylase (digests carbohydrates): skin problems (rashes, hives, herpes,

canker sores), liver and gallbladder disease.

 

Lipase (digests fats): high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular

problems, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, spastic colon, and

dizziness.

 

Cellulase (digests fiber): gas, bloating, acute food allergies, facial pain

or paralysis, candidiasis (yeast infections).

 

Sucrase (digests sugars): lung problems, asthma, bronchitis, seizures,

hyperactivity, mood swings, insomnia, depression, chronic diarrhea, and

dizziness.
