http://www.ei-resource.org/ 3012-377 http://www.ei-resource.org/treatment-%11-nutritional-supplements/nutrients-a%11f/digestive-enzymes/ I have been variously diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fungal-type dysbiosis (Candida overgrowth), and leaky gut syndrome. It is fair to say my digestion is not optimal. I frequently see large chunks of recognisable undigested food in my bowel movements and also frequently see an "oil slick" on the surface of the toilet water indicating that my fat digestion and absorption is poor. Much of this is a result of a fast transit time due to nerves/stress, but I have found that digestive enzyme supplements make a huge difference as well. I use Best Digestive Enzymes by Doctor's Best which has a whole range of digestive enzymes for aiding digestion of carbohydrates, protein, and fats. While taking one capsule with each meal I find my stools contain much less undigested food and fat, which obviously means my body is absorbing more of the nutrients from my food which can only be a good thing. I also find that digestive enzyme supplements reduce my symptoms of bloating and gas after eating. ]]> Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:01:42 +0000
