Enzymes and weight gain/loss and GERD

[Guest guest]

I might be slightly deficient in lipase enzyme that breaks down fat. I have

little fat deposits that look like whiteheads on my forehead and

cheekbones that never go away (they're not acne), and I have had high

cholesterol. I don't have indigestion all the time - just discomfort for

several hous after I eat foods that are too greasy. Does anyone know if the

lipase enzyme will cause weight gain or loss? I really don't need to gain

any weight but would like to see if my symptoms improve by taking enzymes. I

also eat constanty even when not hungry, and I read that this could be due

to enzyme deficiency.

Also, DH has had heartburn for quite a while and is on Prilosec. He tried

enzymes (Digest Gold and Glutenease), but they're not helping. I just read

that it could take a few months. Has anyone had success? He's back on

Prilosec but is thinking about continuing to take enzymes for a few months

and quit Prilosec again.

TIA!
