In The First Year, papayas are listed as soluble fiber & "also digestive aids that relieve gas and indigestion". Does anyone know if dried papayas work the same way? Are dried store bought papayas ok to eat? I know the store bought dried bananas aren't.
Thanks,
Mags

Hmmm....I don't know if dried papayas are as helpful for digestion. I'm not sure if they still have the live enzymes that fresh papayas does. The dried ones should be safe for IBS though - they're not fried like bananas. And they're pretty tasty.

I'm new to this board, and I'm going through past posts, so forgive me for responding to old, old posts. (This one was on page 69!)
Anyway, GNC has a great chewable Papaya Enzyme, which I believe helps aid in the digestion of proteins. I pop at least 10 of those tasty little buggers throughout the day.

I was browsing old posts looking for information on papaya enzymes and I came across this post from jasperlovel asking whether you (Jules) take them with every meal and what if any, prescription meds are you on. I just bought some enzymes today and was wondering about how much to take. The bottle just says serving size 1 tablet. Thanks for any information you can provide.
