Enzymes


Ennis-TX

798 views

I have issues digesting foods, meats/animal fats, and certain other fats are a no. I just throw them up hours later, if it floats it will not break down and be puked up hours later, if it sinks as do nut butters, certain fats,  certain fish and crab, they tend to go through undigested in the stool. I tried HCL to increase my stomach acid strength but that was a huge, painful, burning flob. My acid is just find I just lack the enzymes. SO I was taking vegan jarrow enzymes, 2x the dose, extra jarrow Bromelain 2-3x the dose chewed, and Papaya enzymes. Well they papaya I was using was in a capsule and the company changed to tablets. I can not tolerate these and no other company made them in capsules I could just dump in a drink and down. I changed my primary enzymes over to Jarrow enzymes plus that are porcine enzymes. These tend to work pretty good and have a bit of a cheesy tang to them (1. I do not swallow the capsules but sort of pour the contents on food or in a beverage). I did some research and amusingly learned frito lay uses porcine enzymes as a flavor enhancer in Doritos and a few other products. Amusingly I am tempted to try adding them to a cheese sauce next time I use them lol. Anyway they seem to be effective, in a different way. I can process meats better with them but oddly.....having issues with some plant based fibers, and nuts that used to be no issue with the vegan enzymes......odd. Might try one of each when I get the money.

I have never had it checked or brought this up with my doctor, wondering if I should talk to a doctor next time I can have one (if ever again) and see if this could be related to some organ not working right in my body.....I was told it was more related to the inflammation/damage in my intestines and that with healing should improve. But how does stomach digestion and breaking down fats there work into the equation?
