Digestive Enzymes

Does anyone know if digestive enzymes would help, even just a little bit, while i'm waiting for my test results? I have extreme bloating/fullness and nausea after eating and was just wondering if those might help?

Thank you for any thoughts!

My daughter takes them when her stomach feels a little iffy. They seem to help her.

She takes American Health Chewable Super Papaya Enzyme Plus. We get them at Whole Foods. (No Gluten, No Yeast, No Milk or Derivatives, No Egg, No Soy . . . some others but those are the biggies).

She has tried the antacids in the same situation and they don't seem to do anything for her.

Digestive enzymes can help with that sort of feeling. There aren't any enzymes that are proven to specifically with gluten (despite some misleading labels) but our digestive systems don't work as well as one might hope. The other thing that can help is eating smaller meals and having some probiotic food like kefir or unpasteurized sauerkraut or kimchi for bacteria and a little acid to help your digestion. If the cabbage seems too much, just the sauerkraut juice is helpful and not hard to digest at all. Bubbie's brand sauerkraut is one to look for.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
