Guest guest Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I found this regarding Pancreatic Enzymes:"How do I determine if my pancreas is secreting enough enzymes?Physicians use both physical symptoms and laboratory tests to assess pancreatic function. Common symptoms of pancreatic insufficiency include abdominal bloating and discomfort, gas, indigestion, and the passing of undigested food in the stool. For laboratory diagnosis, most nutrition-oriented physicians use the comprehensive stool and digestive analysis. Another indicator of pancreatic insufficiency is the intestinal overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans. As well as being necessary for protein digestion, the proteases serve several other important functions. For example, the proteases, as well as other digestive secretions, are largely responsible for keeping the small intestine free from parasites (including bacteria, yeast, protozoa, and intestinal worms)."http://www.myhealthmybody.com/trellis/ADM1745_Pancreatic_Enzymes- I was never tested! Is it still safe for me to take Pancreatic Enzymes and BETAINE HCL? I was diagnosed based on what I told Hertoghe, or "symptoms". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
