enzymes and drinks with NO snack

[Guest guest]

Does having a drink (soda, juice, etc.. ) require a Pancrecarb capsule?

I just realized that I hadn't even thought of including drinks? Caden drinks

quite a lot so not sure if this is considered a snack or not.

I follow the rule that if it has fat or protein you need an enzyme.

If you go to the CFParents Homepage and click on files, then research

you should find a document called Guidelines for Enzymes. I used

this when my son started on enzymes and it was pretty helpful.

Soda and Juice contain no fat and very little " nutrition " at all. so an enzyme

should not be required. If the drink has fat in it, like milk or a smoothie,

then it does require enzymes.

I hope this helps!

We have also been told that if the drink/snack has protein in it then it will

require enzymes. The amount of enzymes will depend on the amount of

fat/protein.

Hi Krystena,

It depends on the drink. If it's pure carb, no fat

or protein, it does not. The sodas and most pure

juices fall into that category. If it's a smoothie

with dairy, soy or anything else that may add fat

or proteins, he would need enzymes. Check the

nutrition lable if you have any doubts.

Hope this helps,

No enzymes are not needed with simple sugars, like those found in Juice etc. He

would need enzymes with milk or any of those high cal high protein shakes. That

is great he drinks a lot, they are always after my daughter to drink more.
