Which Digestive Enzymes Should I Take?

There seem to be a ton of digestive enzymes brands out there - how do I know which ones are good? I know Digest Gold was mentioned in the Newbie 101 thread, but it's over $50 and I'd like to find something cheaper.

 

Thanks!

I have used several kinds successfully.  My practitioner recommended Similase Gluten-free Casein-free for me.  It worked well.  Later, I desired enzymes without a capsule.  I have been using Genuine N Zimes Dr. Howell"s Original Formula Extra Strength.  I order this from Azure Standard.  The canister is about $20  and has lasted about 4 months.  It is working for me.  I also have used brand I purchased at a natural food store successfully.  I don't think you need to spend 50 on it.  You do want a quality product though.

I use a papaya enzyme.  They are chewable and taste great.

You're probably going to get a dozen different answers, but these are the ones I use: Open Original Shared Link

They're by Nature's Plus, which is a very reputable brand and they work really well for me.

      Thank you.  I’ll be sure to look into those.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce...

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
