Re: water...... shari....how's your intake? slugish colon...dead colon

I have had chronic constipation for years. I have IBS and it swings to both sides of the pendulum. I haven't found anything yet that when used on a regular basis helps me become normal. I have a lot of stomach pain and very hard output.

Is water the only option? Or is there something natural that would help. I've tried everything (to my knowledge) on the market.

Have

you tried plant-based enzymes that are “active”? Some that actually work? Most do not work – do the pudding test –

if it won’t liquefy pudding, they are not active enzymes and they are

dead, and will not work inside you. That

would be my first thought, then probiotics –

lots and lots of these products for your problem – maybe even a half a

bottle a day of each.

No, the fruit-based enzymes will work only if

your body pH is a certain level. Same as

pancreatic-based – works in a very small pH window. Most people need the plant-based enzymes that

digest everything and work in all pH levels.

bromelane or raw pineapple?

There are three

types of enzymes – plant-based, digestive, and metabolic.

“Metabolic

enzymes” are present in every cell, tissue, and organ in the body and are

responsible for every chemical reaction associated with the metabolism of the

body.

“Plant-based

enzymes” (or food enzymes) are the enzymes contained in raw food. When you cook a food at about 115 deg., you

kill all the enzymes in that food, so then your body (pancreas mostly) has to

go into “overdrive” to produce enough enzymes to digest everything. If you eat raw food, your body will say ahhhhhh, this is easy, I don’t

have to do much work here.

Your body manufactures

and secretes “digestive enzymes” to help anytime you eat cooked and

enzyme-less food.

The enzyme capsules you choose should help

to break down fats, carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. Also make sure it has some type of whole

food included in the capsule that will supply vitamins and minerals along with

the enzymes, since enzymes need vitamins and minerals for optimum functioning. Without an abundant supply of plant-based

enzymes and digestive enzymes, digestion can be severely impaired. A good enzyme should have amylase to

break down starch; invertase to digest sugar products; lactase to digest milk

sugar; cellulase and pectinase to assist in the breakdown of fiber; lipase to

break down fat; and protease, bromelain, and papain to break down protein.

What

are plant-based enzymes - some examples please? I know nothing about them.
