Digestive Enzyme Supplement

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I don't think that I have posted to this list yet - I've been posting to

the longisland listserve. I have a question about digestive enzyme supplements,

but first I suppose I should mention that I am about to start the SCD (waiting

for my yogurt maker to arrive). I am starting it because I have severe

constipation type ibs. As for my question about digestive enzyme supplements -

my Naturopath wants me to start taking a Digestive Enzyme Supplement like

Pancreatin or something, at the same time as beginning the diet. However, I

can't take anything with Bromelain in it, because it has been shown that people

who have dangerous allergic reactions to bee stings (which I do) can react the

same way to Bromelain (even though bromelain is made from pineapple stems -

weird but true). Anyway, I'm finding it nearly impossible to find a Digestive

Supplement without Bromelain as one of the ingredients. Anyone else have this

problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Lora,

You are welcome! I noticed from your other email that you live in

PA. May I ask what part of PA? I live in southeastern PA (suburbs

of Philadelphia), so if you live in the same part of PA perhaps we

could compare notes on things like where to get good locally-grown

organic food and SCD-legal foods in general. Feel free to email me

off-list.
