<font color="green">[b] I've done some basic study on enzymes lately... and I'm amazed at what I've found.

If you are anemic, don't eat PEANUTS, SPINACH nor drink any BLACK TEA. They all form an enzyme that binds with the IRON in your system and the body then throws it OUT!!!

If you have any stomach/bowel distress...gas, bloat, heartburn, aching, consitpation...etc... something is amiss with your digestion. Try digestive enzymes. There are 3 of them needed for good digestion. (One for starches, one for fats, one for proteins)

I learned that enzymes are responsible for controlling the esophagus. I have had more and more troubles with aspiration (breathing in what should be going into the stomach!) and tried a vegetarian pill of digestive enzymes... and I haven't aspirated in the short time (2 weeks?) since beginning them! I also don't have any need for Rolaids either!

I've heard that sometimes ppl don't have enough stomach acid to digest their foods... to find out which problem is yours (if you have one, too much or too little acid) you can take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a normally upsetting meal... if your stomach settles... you need MORE acid. Go figure!

Now I want to know why my illustrious doctors didn't figure all this out for me??? I have a jaw/chewing problem, I'm anemic, I have aspiration problems...etc. I'm eager to get new blood work done soon...to see how my iron/protein levels are doing

Hope this helps someone figure out their troubles too!

Your post just brought to my mind,there is a product called,Prozyme,it helps with a lot of this problem.
There is one formulation for pets and then they make one for humans.
It's been years since I used it on my dog,when she was young she was so finicky I wanted to be sure she got the best nutrition with her food,this stuff helps aid digestion and vitamin efficiency.
Maybe it can be "googled",I'm sure they have a website. It's good stuff,in fact I am thinking of getting some for myself again.
Thanks for sparking my memory,even though I digressed.
Wish you improved health soon.
