I use WobenzymN, buy it at Vitacost, and I have been using it for years now. It does keep my tummy sane w/o problems. When I was taking abx, they all caused my digestive system lots of upsets.
I'm never without digestive enzymes and Theralac probiotics. Both expensive, but worth it.
All the best,

Wobenzym is much too expensive to be used as a digestive enzyme.
It's a necessary Lyme supplement to take on an empty stomach to be used as an anti- inflammatory, for hyper- coagulation, as a blood cleaner, and some believe it attacks bio film but to take it with meals to me seems like a waste of good money.

I have had great success with Super Digestaway by Soloray. They are very inexpensive and antiparasitic, antinflammatory. I also take them in between meals, I get them on line(vitacost) or at the vitamin shoppe.

I use Cholagest from Anabolic Labs. I forget what it costs......works well.

Nothing I got OTC was strong enough for me until I got prescription Pancrelipase, and my Medicare Part D pays for it, so it's free. I have to take more than 600 capsules of it per month, so free is good.

I take Vegizyme made by Biogenesis, works well for me

Klutzo, are you having good results with that Rx? My LLMD gave me a script for it, but I have not started on it yet.

I have a script for Creon. It works ok. I wish they had a miracle drug for the lymph backup. Better be quiet or they will put one on the market for headaches.

Thanks to all of you for sharing with me what enzymes work best for you. Now I gotta a lot of researching to do! I appreciate all of your input and suggestions!

I found the following link had some good information as to nutrition. They offer a different kind of product.
Standard process zypan has hcl and enzymes in it and not too expensive one or two with meals
standard process betafood helps the gallbladder keep moving and standard process cardioplus i like for heart lyme symptoms
Posted by Abxnomore (Member # 18936) on :
hcl or Hydrochloric acid should be taken about 15 minutes prior to a meal to stimulate stomach acid, if you have low stomach acid , and most people do
as they get older. It helps the body naturally kick out pathogens. Hydro-Zyme by Biotics is a very good product.
Digestive enzymes should be taken in the middle of your meal to help break down and digest your food.
Posted by gwb (Member # 7273) on :
How does one know if they have low stomach acid? I read that if a person takes hcl and they don't have low stomach acid it could damage their stomach linings.
Seems it's hard to know if you have it or not because most doctors will simply tell you that's what your problem is and recommend you to take Prilosec or something like that.
So confusing about all this...
Posted by Abxnomore (Member # 18936) on :
You are right. One should not take hcl if they don't need it. The way to find out if you have low stomach acid is to be tested by taking a Heidelberg test.
In general, however, as we age we lose stomach acid.
Posted by gwb (Member # 7273) on :
Where does one go to get a Heidelberg test? What does it involve?
Posted by Abxnomore (Member # 18936) on :
I had mine done many years ago at an alternative doctor's office. It's an easy non invasive test. Here's a link.
