Ladies and Gents,
I just wanted to ask if anyone has used Papaya Enzyme? I have been using it for several days to combat IBS symptoms, and it has actually proven useful. It is supposed to help aide in digestion particularly of proteins.
I had an ailing tummy on Friday and my co-worker gave me some of her capsules. Within five minutes, I was feeling much better. I could smile, and it was the most wonderful feeling.
I won't say this will help every time, but I am very pleased to find something somewhat helpful in addition to Heather's wise books.

When I worked in a health food store, I tried them at my boss's recommendation for heartburn, and they worked great. I keep a bottle on hand for that reason, but I know some people do take them with every meal, and they really do help. I always thought the tablets were pretty tasty, too. 
Glad to hear you've found something that works so well for you!

I've never heard of this! I'll have to look into it. I get acid reflux and IBS so it sounds like this could be beneficial.

is this in addition to another digestive enzyme? Or is one digestive enzyme enough and the papaya in addition would be a waste of money?
