Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 Here I sit with another brainy idea. I am also wondering if a database could be set up on what enzymes and dosages everyone takes. I again try and keep track of them, and continue to get confused. Cecilia Cecilia soce@...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Excellent question. I am new to enzyme therapy and I have been told to take them with meals, or even after meals but this past trip to the hospital the nurses always gave them to me about 20 - 30 minutes prior to a meal. Bert Bert Bolin Yahoo Messenger: l10nx, http://l10nx.net/ Pancreatitis Association, Intl.- http://pancassociation.org may you be free if but for awhile from the pain Enzymes As a CP patient I am getting conflicting ways to take my supplemental enzymes. My doctor suggests I take them in the middle of a meal. My dietician says I should take them an half hour prior to my meal. What say you?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hi, I'm on Creon now and my doc always said to me to take my enzymes just before my meals. He said that too much before or late, will not work. Sometimes I take it during. By the way sometimes oral enzymes are no much effective for me, I tried various.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 What is the difference between enzymes and probiotics or are they the same thing? What do you use each for? I have trouble with and fermented foods (ei vinegar, wine, cheese, etc) Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 >>>> What is the difference between enzymes and probiotics or are they the same thing? They are quite different but overlap in function. They work quite complementary with each other. An enzyme is a protein consisting of the same amino acids as any other protein. The difference is that as enzyme protein does work in the body. They are catalysts that make biological functions 'go'. They are not living entities. A probiotic is a living organism that eats, reproduces, and dies. A probiotic is beneficial bacteria; the 'good' bacteria we need in our guts for good health. Probiotics produce some digestive enzymes. Probiotics in cultured foods produce enzymes there doing the work. Eating the cultured food means you eat the good bacteria along any enzymes produced. But probiotics tend to need to be replenished in our bodies. Research on both probiotics and enzymes show they have pro-actively healing properties and benefit health in many ways.
