No, I never heard of them. Is there a brand name? I know of people

who would be interested!

How do I find out if she has this? I am assuming there is a test for

a low protease? I'd like more info on this if you have it, please.

I don't like all that lab stuff so don't go in for testing, but I do

think there is a test for low amino acids, maybe part of a

nutritional panel. If amino acids are low and she is eating plenty

of protein then you kind of have to assume there is a protease

problem. But maybe someone else here knows differently.
