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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin...

Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I have been diagnosed with Refractory Celiac disease Type 2. Which is quite a shock because my Gastroenterologist has been performing gastroscopy & colonoscopy's - 4 in 2025 & a gastroscopy on the 20/3/26 and they didnot tell me how bad my Celiacs disease is and has been. It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the...

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin for Men and woman 50+ Natures made multivitamin for her as it gives the right amount needed for both men and women as the mens has too much. For Probiotics ALign came out on top the 5x and the one for bloating. Knitty Kitty provided me good supplement brands as well.

      Gluten-Mimicking Proteins that can affect some Celiac individuals.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi all: I have had Celiac for 47 years. I have not seen much info on the following, and 3 of these  affect me. In case this info helps someone else, I offer the following: Gluten-like proteins is a topic I want to share, as they have added bad reactions to my Celiac condition.  Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, and inflammation causing a feeling of being very warm to hot. The following are considered  Gluten-Mimicking Proteins: Corn (Zein protein) (this causes inflammation with me). Millet Panicin protein) Sorghum (Kafirin protein).  Potato (Patatin protein, is NOT considered a Gluten-Mimic, nor is Oats (Avenin) but they do cause reactions in some Celiac people... I eat potato and I vomit, and get diarrhea. gluten-free Oats causes me to have Nausea, and Corn causes me  Inflammation.  I hope this helps someone.  Wishing the very best to all.   Florence.

It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the result. So I am trying hard to get some nutrition into my body. All of this info on supplements and nutritional diets is very helpful.  Regards Margaret.
