Just wondering what people think Digestive Enzymes have done for their digestive health. Have they improved it? Cut down on symptoms of poor digestion like gas and bloatedness? Allowed you to eat a wider range of food that you otherwise might have had issues with? Or maybe digestive enzymes did nothing for you?

Thanks ;->

They can cause looser stool, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I do find I get a bit more gas from digestive enzymes, but it could be also the food I've eaten when I take them.

They will probably help increase food transit time out of the stomach...

They will help with poor digestion....as would probiotics and fibre supplements. They definitely have their place, but I usually will take them after supper, never during the day.

When I was coming out of my last flare I was taking them with every meal (after talking to a nutritionist), and I think they really helped me. I know different people have different results, but for me I found I was having fewer loose stools when on them, than when I stopped taking them. I was actually just thinking about starting them up again.

I tried them, they caused stomach upset and D. Quit.

I took them for a while and didn't notice any difference. Funny how it is different for everyone.

I took bromelain once and it made my poo liquid. No more of that for me!
