Digestive enzymes

[Stupid_poos]

Hello! I have read on here that a few people swear by digestive enzymes. I was thinking of trying some but don’t know which to get. I have IBS-D. Any advice would be very much appreciated. X

I don’t know the answer but will watch with interest as I too would like to take digestive enzymes for my constant gurgling guts.

Hi Jen

I've never taken them but after someone posted about them on here I looked them up on the internet and decided against taking them after reading the article I found, see below:

I was going to be prescribed digestive enzymes by my GP if a repeat stool test came back showing I was not digesting my food properly due to low pancreatic enzymes alas it came back normal this time. Anyway I have been looking at the enzymes that some health companies offer and I am considering taking them after Xmas as I wish to gather some more info on them. I do know that they will not be as powerful as those prescribed my your GP. Just a thought perhaps you should speak to your GP getting a stool test to see if you actually need them

Hi there, not sure if these are the same things or not, but i read about these from someone on this site recently, and as they suggested, i bought some from Amazon and immediately started taking them.

2 weeks later and i am feeling rather smug!

I'm only on day 3 of seeing results but with no adjustment to my diet whatsoever, my bm's are down to one a day - in the morning, (from 4 or 5 throughout day) - and i have had absolutely NO cramping all day. I'm wanting to shout out loud but I'm going to give it another 2 weeks. I feel the shackles around my ankles begin to loosen.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I ask everyone to please be honest in their recommendations because we are all " mass sufferers" and need to feel that we all have each others backs.
