digestive enzymes -- barb, others?

September 17, 2001

Yep -- I don't think gluten is really an issue for us,

but am suspect of dairy and have it on my " list " of

things to figure out. I think leaky gut and yeast are

huge issues, as does the homeopathic physician we're

working with.

We've started some digestive enzymes recommended by

this doc. I've signed on to an enzymesandautism list,

but nobody knows much about the keto diet. Just

wondering if the enzymes will change the way the diet

is metabolized if there's anything I need to take into

consideration. At their recommendation (and my own!),

I'm moving VERY slowly. They do say that you can see

some regression in the beginning and I think I'm

starting to see the beginnings of that -- no seizures,

but some behaviors that aren't very pleasant. Just

wondering, Barb, if with reference to leaky gut, yeast

and the keto diet -- if you or anyone else has

thoughts on digestive enzymes.

Enzymes are one part of the digestive process. HCL acid levels should

also be checked. If a person eats each meal at the same time each

day, the body will produce HCL acid and enzymes approximately 20

minutes before each meal time. If you are using digestive enzymes,

you need to ensure that food is started before 20 minutes has

elapsed. If you put enzymes into an empty stomach, it will continue

the process on whatever is available...like the stomach. As this is a

normal process that the body produces, and assuming that the

digestive enzymes do not contain " added extras " , then this should not

create major problems, even with the keto diet.

Just my 2 cents worth.
