digestive enzymes - intestional problems

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if using digestive enzymes leads to intestional

problems? My mother heard a " rhumor " that they do and called me all

frantic saying I need to stop giving them to my son.

 

Thanks,

Jennifer

[Guest guest]

I have been taking them every time I eat for about a year now.

Enzymes are good for you. Your body needs them to help break down food.

It would be just the opposite - enzymes help to digest your food.

Make sure you are using plant-based enzymes (because your body can't

make plant enzymes), and make sure they are blended with some type of

food that supplies minerals (enzymes don't work without minerals). A

neat little experiment that shows whether or not your enzymes are

working - open up a capsule and stir the powder into a cup of pudding.

The pudding should liquify within just a couple minutes. If it

doesn't, then the enzymes won't work in your body, either.

No not to my knowledge. The digestive enzymes work to digest food.

When taken on a empty stomach they help with pain and have other

functions throughout the body. I have only seen positive benifits

with this.

Hi Jennifer,

 

I have never heard of digestive enzymes causing intestinal problems -

in fact I hear more and more every day that everyone (including

children) can benefit from taking enzymes.

 

I used to work with a young autistic boy who took enzymes with every

meal because they helped him to cope with dyes and preservatives and

other chemicals in food that would negatively effect his behavior and

cognitive abilities. With the enzymes he was much calmer and easier to

deal with and could concentrate better.

 

Enzymes also assist the body in breaking down hard to digest foods like

proteins into smaller components so that the body can absorb more

nutrition from them.

 

Many people don't know that if you take enzymes on an empty stomach

they go out and look for undigested proteins. That can be in lymph

fluid around painful joints, in the linings of arteries and along

intestinal walls. So enzymes are beneficial even when you are not

eating.

 

I would say - keep up the enzymes. Just make sure that you are choosing

the best quality enzymes that you can. Like everything else - not all

enzymes are created equal.

 

I hope that helps.

Blessings,

 

Claire

Hi, I have been using Acidophilus  5-Billion & Milk Free for several years now

and no longer need the use of prescription drugs, I really love it and recommend

it to all my friends who have digestive issues. I like to purchase mine in the

health food store, they seem to be a better quality as opposed to those bought

off the shelf from other stores.

Good luck,

Izabel

Jennifer -

 

can you recommend a specific brand of enzymes that you've found to be the most

effective. Please post for me and also the benefit of the groups. Thanks.

Hi,

 

I would like to check if the enzymes I'm taking are fine, but I have some

doubts.

I never ate a pudding. Is it like a cake? Where should I put it? Is it possible

that just the content of a capsule can liquify the pudding? Should I put the

enzyme on top of the pudding?

 

Perhaps my questions sound too silly, but the reality is that I'm not sure what

to do.

Pudding is not like cake in the US. It's like custard. Are you familiar with

custard? I would empty a capsule of enzymes on top of the pudding or custard. It

may not liquify the whole bowl, but it should liquify some around where you

dumped it.

Hi group,

Forgive me for interjecting my thoughts here but taking enzymes for the sake of

taking them could lead to problems.

If the deficiency symptoms are there and there are no signs of ulcers (stomach

or duodenal) and absence og H Pylori, I would contemplate suppleemnting with

specific enzymes. Which ones to take depends on the symptoms but my message is:

do not supplement unless you need to supplement.

Thanks

No, pudding is not like cake. Pudding is a creamy concoction made

with milk and cornstarch to thicken it, and a flavor like chocolate,

vanilla, banana, etc. It's available already made - in the supermarket

- comes in a 3 pack usually - about 1/2 cup each container.

 

Open up your enzyme capsule, and stir the powdered contents into the

pudding. Don't let the powder sit on top of the pudding, stir it right

into the pudding. Wait a minute or two and see if it gets liquidy.

Rena:

 

You can actually do this same experiment with cooked oatmeal. It will

take a bit longer to break down the oatmeal but you should see a

definite difference in the consistency within 10 minutes, or so.

 

I've actually tried many different brands, but the ones I have found to

be the best come from Young Living. They have several different ones

for breaking down various types of food, but two general ones are

Essentialzyme (for those with blood type O) and Detoxzyme (for those

with A, B, or AB).

It's the Plant-based enzymes I'm talking about that you need - if you

eat cooked food. Most people eat cooked food. Your body cannot make

plant enzymes - they are found only in raw foods. So if you are not a

raw foodist, you need plant enzymes every time you eat cooked foods.

Enzymes are destroyed anytime you heat food to 118 deg. - whether you

boil it, fry it, zap it, saute it, bake it, etc. - you kill the

enzymes in that food.

 

It's the plant-based enzymes that are found in raw foods that start

food digestion.

I have some oat, but I'm not sure if this is oatmeal. They are little pieces.

Very seldom I mix this oat with boiling water and a little bit of honey.

Can I use it for the experiment? Does it have to be hot or cold?

Rena:

 

Cut oats, which it sound as though you have, should work just fine.

I've always done this with cold oatmeal, but that was only because I

transported it to a class where I was doing the demonstration. It

shouldn't matter if it is hot or cold. I make mine pretty thick ( " stand

a spoon up in it " style) so the difference is very apparent.

 

Good luck!
