Just thought you all should know that Beano has Sorbitol in it... which for a lot of people can cause D.

I would think you would be able to find digestive enzymes at any health food store. I take 2 with lunch and dinner to help my system break everything up, it does help a little with the gas!

since you're only using several drops of Beano per meal, that's a super small dose. I haven't heard of anyone having bad results from Beano - either it helps them a lot, or it doesn't do anything at all.
Still, sorbitol in a GI health product!! Things that make you ask why????
Thanks Karen!

Michele is right. Even our little local so-called health food store (that never has ANYTHING I want!) does have "Super Digestaway" by Solaray. Each supplement contains ox bile extract (EW), papain (from papaya), peppermint, ginger, papaya (leaf), pepsin, Betaine, Bromelain (from pineapple stem!) and aloe vera gel (yum yum). I tried it a few times with a meal that I usually have a problem with (such as spaghetti or pizza sauce), and it didn't seem to help much -- however, I took only one capsule; I think I'll try taking 2, like Michele. Give 'em a try! Bev
