I went through many years of trial .. I tried seperate ones

for each type of digestion, and then my doctor recommended

adding in bile salts.. I now take two with each meal ---

Super ENzymes by NOW .. which has a full range for enzyme

breakdown .. HCL {200mg} pancreatin ,etc , plus the 100mg of ox

bile.. Plus I take three pills of Betaine HCL with each

meal from Natural Factors Each pill has 500 mg of Betaine HCL

I was not comfortable with taking the HCL as per my article

about taking a liquid solution.. worried about the affects on

my teeth.

I currently take JARRO-ZYMES PLUS (sorry for the caps, that's how it is on the

label!), by Jarrow Formulas. It contains porcine pancreatin enzymes, which are

supposed to be better than vegetable based ones. It was recommended for me by

.

I also take 3 capsules of Betaine HCl (520mg each) and 1 chromium picolinate

(200mcg) at each meal, along with one of the above.

Wow, my new HCl supplement has about 300mg in each tab, and it says to

take one with each meal. Just how much do we need?

Also, is there any standard advice about particular digestive enzymes?

There seem to be lots of different suggestions here.

Thanks,

Dh & I are currently taking NOW Super Enzymes, which are digestive enzymes plus

HCl.

We take Peptizyde by Houston for any suspected gluten infractions.

Both of my kids have taken Houston's Peptizyde, Zyme Prime and/or No Fenol in

the past,

which I consider to be top-notch enzyme products.

I'm taking Wobenzyme on an empty stomach for joint inflammation.

I take a total of 1900 mg per meal... three from Natural

Factors of 500 mg each plus two NOW super enzymes with 200mg

each... and have been on that dose for a few years , helps alot

and no problems.

I tried lowering it but no go,I just need to continue to fork

out the dough..lol.. At the beginning my doctor told me to start

at the one pill , in my case it was 500mg per pill and then

keep on adding until you notice it is too much..nanci

Jackie has some great advice about digestive enzymes and HCl. Here is what I've

learned from my experience:

I take the following high doses of digestive enzymes. All of these are capsules.

Tablets are harder for the body to digest and use, and I think my digestive

system needs all the help I can give it.

500 to 2500 mg (depending on meal size) of 8x Pancreatin with every meal and

snack. Note: most Pancreatin is 4x.)

If the meal contains grain, dairy, or beans, I add one strong broad-spectrum

multi-enzyme by Healthy Reflections.

If the meal contains substantial dairy, I add 130 mg of lactase.

If the meal contains meat, I add up to 2600 mg of Betaine HCl.

It's a handful, but I take this much because I have suffered from leaky gut

syndrome and shifting allergies/sensitivities to many different foods over the

years. I used to " crash " with exhaustion and brain fog 90 minutes after eating.

Taking these enzymes avoids that, assuming I don't eat foods that I am truly

allergic to, such as soy.

My working theory is that mercury, arsenic, and their ilk are blocking the

mineral rececptors on various enzymes in my body, rendering them ineffective, as

Andy describes in AI. My body now has a functional shortage of enzymes, and food

doesn't get digested properly, energy doesn't get transferred and used properly,

and other processes are not working properly. BTW, I have felt better and had

more energy after taking GliSODin, a form of SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD) that

helps clear unwanted oxides from the mitochondria so they work better.

I hope this helps some of you with digestive issues.
