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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
