Anyone know of digestive enzymes without Protease?

Montana — Sun, 26 Mar 2017 23:30:37 GMT

I can only find one - by Integrative Therapeutics.

ETA: Without Bromelain or Papain too.

I have good luck with chewable papaya tablets. But I could not tell you if they have protease in them or the 2 other things you mentioned. Sorry not much help.

My husband uses American Health Chewable Papaya Enzyme. We get it at Vitacost, very inexpensive.

@ Montana

Why no protease? Or Bromelain or Papain?

@LTT1, protease irritates my stomach. I think Bromelain and Papain are a type of protein enzyme so I am afraid to try them.

That is what makes it a digestive enzyme.

I have no problem with the digestive enzymes for fats snd carbs - Amylase and Lipase. Protease, the digestive enzyme for proteins is the one I can't tolerate right now.

Have you tried eating a dish of fresh pineapple? Supposedly that helps digestion too.

@ Montana

I must have Garden of Life Enzymes or my IBS symptoms go wild.

The first dose left me feeling immediate relief and my sinuses DRAINED. (Think about it... mucus membranes line all digestive tract and sinuses.)

Well, anyway, I have taken these now for six months and I'm so much better. But these have many types of enzymes in them.

Amazon will allow you to return products that disagree or cause allergic reactions.

Forgot... these are RAW... meaning no processing and no fillers. Will post picture.

Ginger has long been known to naturally support digestive health. It naturally stimulates digestive enzymes. It is a stomach soother and will also calm nausea.

@LTT1 That's interesting. I have been having bad stomach issues forever now. Then last week started with the allergy and hives. I doubled up on my protein pump inhibitor and now I'm feeling really sick (sinus). Apparently there's a connection. Perhaps I'll try this. Thx

@Reba055

This made a new world of difference for me and my IBS GERD symptoms.

I try to avoid gluten, too.

The reason I persisted with this post is that I was not able to keep ANY vitamins, etc down. I suspected the fillers b/c the worst episode was with cheap grocery store vitamin.

I left these behind when we took a trip last fall thinking I didnt need them. The tummy was miserable.

@LTT1, @m0rgan, @SilleeMee thanks for your suggestions.

I think I will start with the enzymes @LTT1 recommended and see what happens.

I use Now brand HCL with betaine. It also contains pepsin.

Do these need to be refrigerated? I was wondering how they would be shipped in warm weather.I need to give those a try

@dex

No, these do not require refrigeration.

I always thought the papaya was gentle. I take one but they recommend 1-3.

If you have trouble with vitamins, take with a meal. I had trouble with vit D 2000 and switched to Carlsons 4000 drops and have no problems. Sometimes you have to play around with brands and dosages.

@LTT1

Do you take the RAW enzymes just before a meal or during the meal?
