Enzymes

I am having such a hard time healing. I have been VERY careful, but my intestines just hurt a lot. I did get a piece of a crouton in my salad Sunday and didn't know it until I ate it. :( I got real sick last night with D and lost 1.5 lbs. Now I'm back down to 106.5. :( I thought taking some enzymes to help me digest food will help. It has alfalfa in it also and that is supposed to be very good for you. I would like to take them forever. lol. Is that ok? Or do you have to stop sometime?

Thanks

Your body produces enzymes from the time you are born until you die. So you can take them as long as you want.

Sorry you arent feeling well. Hope you get better soon. :)

You can lose enzymes as you get older so you need more with age. More fresh fruits and veggies. ;)

I eat plenty of fruits and veggies. I just hate protein. My doc wants me to eat 90 gms a day, but it's HARD. I don't like it. Anyway, I have a hard time digesting proteins. I'm hoping it will be easier with the enzymes.

No you can't take them for too long. Some people need to be on them forever. I am not sure that Alfalfa will really do anything. Just make sure that you get amalayse, protease and lipase. That is all the prescription enzymes contain.

It has all the regular enzymes plus the alfalfa.

On the Alfalfa...I would do 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off so you dont develop an intolerance to it.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      When the pizza was dropped off she told me it had a Udi's certified gluten-free crust. Even so, I am trying to play things as safe as possible for at least the next 6-months. With that said, I returned the two slices to my neighbor and asked her to thank her mom for the pizza. 😊 I will likely bump into my neighbor's mom sometime next week. She sh...

      Both homemade vinegar and fermented pickles have wonderful flavors of herbs, spices and tartness. However, fermented pickles contain healthy probiotics whereas vinegar pickles do not! https://cleanfoodliving.net/fermented-pickles/

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      @Colleen H, How are you doing? I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them. Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten. So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn. I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together. ...

I used Clear Eyes 1% NAC lubricating eye drops for several years until the FDA forced them off the market.  In 2015 I had cataracts in bofh eyes.  In 2019 my left eye was clear, right eye was improved.  They are back now.  I discovered new companies with the drops at higher NAC but went with 500 mg NAC capsules.  Spread the cheer 🤓. My impression so far is the NAC is doing good.  Best with meal.

      @Colleen H, How are you doing?  I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them.  Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten.  So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn.   I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together.  These act as a pain reliever as good as any over the counter pain reliever.  They won't hurt the stomach like aspirin or acetaminophen.   Thiamine will help nausea, anxiety, constipation, and headache.  Pyridoxine B6 and B12 will help with the pins and needles.  Magnesium helps work with thiamine to relieve symptoms. I also take a B Complex to boost absorption not absorbed from foods.  Niacin B3 helps with the anxiety, too.   Best wishes.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I APPRECIATE you validating everything because this is a nightmare and the only reason why im fighting is because I don't want future generations to deal with this bs and medical should take responsibility for their lack of actions. Autoimmune disorder aka " food allergies " should be a mandated reportable disease for the safety of the patients.
