Re: Almost ready to start enzymes...feedback please

[Guest guest]

Overall Houston Enzymes have good reputation and recommendation.

Check their website, they have a product chart for the list of the

enzymes they carry and you can decide looking at it.

Probiotics are very good.They are required to take care of good gut

flora. We use Klaire's Therbiotic Complete and Klaire's Factor 4.

Hoep this helps!

Miralax can be nasty

Try finding the underlying cause and address it as soon as you can.

At my house, magnesium and yeast control were required. More ideas here
