Muscle Spasms/Lipase Deficiency?Enzymes

[Guest guest]

Just in case you are interested I have been reading as

much as I can about enzymes and deficiencies since I

know that I am deficient in some of them. Gluten

destroys the enzyme producing villi in the small

intestine and it makes absorbing nutrients very

inefficient to say the least.

Anyway, I copied the following from an article:

" A common symptom of lipase deficiency is muscle

spasms. This is not the " muscle cramp " (tetany)

resulting from low ionized blood calcium. It commonly

occurs as trigger point pain in the muscles across the

upper shoulders, but it can occur in other muscles,

such as those in the neck or anywhere in the small or

large intestines including the muscles of the rectal

tissues. If chronic muscle spasms keep you going back

to your chiropractor, osteopath or acupuncturist for

repeated adjustments or therapy, try adding some

lipase to your diet. It may help you hold your

adjustments. "

Scroll down in the article to where this is.

Kirkman Labs has an article that is pretty good about

explaining enzymes:

Kirkman also sells a lipase supplement that seems to

be more complete (different kinds of lipase) than any

other I can find. It is called Bio Core Lipo.

But---I am not here to tell you to buy anything. I

just want you to have information I think is

interesting and may be helpful to you.

If you are gluten sensitive you likely are lactose

deficient and that would be a hint that your lactase

producers don't work. There are several different

kinds of enzymes. All of them are important to the

body I believe. If you don't absorb nutrients you can

be deficient in any number vitamins, etc., and that

can really affect the body.
