Quote: having too much acid? The pain seems to be the same, and if you take acid relievers, that will make the pain worse if you need enzymes to eat. Or am I missing something here?
All I can add is that before starting on a routine of digestive enzymes I was getting GERD, which I'd never had before IBS. WITH digestive enzymes/probiotics AND SFS I get no gas/burping/belching, GERD, etc. I still get pains/some bloating, but that is usually caused by eating to much or a trigger food. It may be a bit different for me since I'm older and as we age the pancreas cannot manufacture the amount of digestive enzymes we really need. I took acid relievers at first and they did nothing on a long term basis..they were only 5 minute band aids. I prefer to stick with digestive enzymes thank you...I take them with every meal except bkfst which is usually light and my best time of the day. Most people don't give them enough time to start working on a regular basis..they'll try something for a week max and if it it doesn't work, give up... Kandee
