Re:Re: help with digestive enzymes/Kim

June 4, 2009

Thanks for all the info Kim. So far I seem to be improving on the enzymes and I

have been desperate for something to help me. I have decided that I need to take

the risk, but I am very concerned about having illegals. It seems so difficult

to find supplements that are legal in NZ. Plus my doctor wanted to put me on a

strong digestive enzyme which I think you can only get on prescription. Carmel.

critical, then this enzyme appears to be OK.

rejects all that I have tried so far. So go slowly when you start them.

in NZ (I think), you may not have too many options.
