digestive enzymes: pros / cons?

[Guest guest]

Is there any potential downside to taking digestive enzymes? I was taking

Biogest HCI for a few months, and though I can't prove it definitively, I'm

pretty sure it was contributing to inflammation of my stomach lining. Are the

more comprehensive enzyme formulas (Biogest had just 2-3 items in it)better /

easier on gut in that regard?

Digest Gold promotes itself as " most potent " on market -- taking into account

marketing hyperbole, I'm not sure if that's necessarily a good thing for my

gut. I'd appreciate hearing about any experience with varying brands / levels

of potency.

thanks,
