Re: Digestive Enzymes       12/08/10 06:24 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Some digestive enzymes such as Beano and lactase work well for helping digest specific carbohydrates and lactose respectively. They have to be taken with every meal that contains these carbohydrates and lactase. Others such as cellulase, lipase don't survive the acids in the stomach and are not particularly useful. In fact, cellulase is only found in ruminant animals such as cows and horses. In summary - some digestive enzymes work many don't. Those that do work have to be taken with each meal that contains a substance in the food that the enzyme can breakdown. Another factor to consider is many digestive enzymes are ground up dried plant material and they essentially are all insoluble fiber which can be a problem for some. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
