Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hey PJ, You looking for an all around " generalized " type of enzyme? Have you looked at http://www.enzymestuff.com/basicswhichenzyme.htm I can't know exactly about the product you posted since it has a lot of ingredients as I question the processing of some of them http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=NT-1489&sourceTyp\ e=cs&source=FG&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engines-_-googleproduct-_-Ultra-Zyme%20-%20180%\ 20Tablets-_-NT-1489&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=NT-1489 Also, IME sometimes having a probiotic as a filler can be " iffy " . Have you looked at Houston Enzymes at all? Trienza is great! http://www.houston-enzymes.com/ It's quite a bit more expensive.. There are some other good ones out there too.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks Jodi- I was just curious about them since so many people have found them to be helpful, and I'm interested in trying them. GI prohealth sells SCD legal ones too. The trienza looks good. PJ > > > > Has anyone used these?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I ordered Trienza. I hope it is not irritating to the GI tract. I just wanted to see if the enzymes would help with digestion- keep undigested food out of the colon. They seem to be helpful to so many people. Any personal experience from the group would be helpful- thanks. PJ > > > > Has anyone used these?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 After reading pecanbread.com, which stated that the enzymes from GI prohealth were legal and less irritating to the GI tract, I changed my order and ordered the GI prohealth ones. I decided I would be more comfortable using the less irritating one to start. PJ > > > > > > Has anyone used these?

Any personal experience from the group would be helpful- thanks. PJ I take HCl and an enzyme product called Mega Poly Zyme by Interplexus, which has the basics, protease, lipase, amylase. I think they do help. I think Trienza looks interesting to try, too. I seem to do better with some help in this area though I hope eventually I won't need it.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thought I'd mention my experience with digestive enzymes, just in case... I've tried three different digestive enzymes since my diagnosis six years ago; my body rejected all of them. My immune system responded quickly (hives, respiratory distress), and that naturally upset my digestive system for days. I was and am a bit frustrated by this intolerance, although not terribly surprised. My immune system doesn't tolerate many supplements, especially ones containing multiple ingredients. I had a struggle finding a multi-vitamin that my body would tolerate once a week. I deal with malabsorption issues, so can use the additional digestive enzymes, but my body won't accept them. Trienza wasn't one of the ones I tried. Digest Gold was one, however, which has had good reports from other SCD folks, so I was disappointed. I mention my experience only to suggest you start cautiously and take a low dose at first, until you know your body will tolerate it. Kim M. SCD 5+ years > > I ordered Trienza.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 PJ, How interesting. What makes GIprohealth less irritating? I am very curious!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I read this link: http://www.pecanbread.com/p/enzymes1.html " There are some children who cannot tolerate enzymes during the early stages of SCD; this might be due to the protease in the enzymes. A special enzyme was made to overcome this problem: the new enzyme assists protein breakdown but avoids excessive amounts of proteases that may irritate or inflame GI tissues. View information concerning ProZymes, the new enzyme " Then there was a warning on the Houston website for their Peptiside product that says not to use it in the presence of severe intestinal inflammation. I would imaging that these products are safe for most, but I did not want to " rock the boat " Many of the Houston products are SCD legal and look like they are excellent, but for my very first try, I went with the Gi prohealth. Other products from Houston do not have this warning. PJ > > > > > > > > > > Has anyone used these?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks, I ordered some, but I may hold off as I'm still a bit wary of rocking the boat here. I just feel sometimes that they may help, and really, we are all trial and error here with different things- and we won't know until we try them. Scary PJ > > > > I ordered Trienza.
