I was recently given digestive enzymes to take after a tooth extraction abdominal amazed at how much better my stomach is and I have no more joint/muscle/nerve pain.Due to the extraction I have been eating foods I could not tolerate before likeicecream,yogurt and gluten with no issues. I had tested positive on allergy testing to cows milk as well as gluten.
I'm wondering if this was what was needed all along.....is there any reason not to eat the foods I showed allergies to if Im tolerating them fine with the enzymes??
I'm puzzled as to why no one I have seen has ever suggested these...

Which brand of enzymes are you taking. How high is the dose?
Serrapeptase is a systemic enzyme that can reduce swelling and inflammation after oral surgery. It has a protective coating and is taken on an empty stomach so that it can pass into the intestines without dissolving.
Systemic enzymes are absorbed in the intestines and circulate in the blood.

What kind of digestive enzymes are you taking? They sound really good. Is it something we could get online, or do you have to go through a doctor to get them?

I personally would not eat dairy or gluten if testing said not to. You will also end up with candida if you keep eating dairy and ice cream.
Please tell us which enzymes.
_ PS>. Carol has been suggesting these for years and years.

The enzymes that help with pain are proteolytic enzymes and they have to be taken on an empty stomach.

Both digestive enzymes and systemic enzymes are extremely beneficial. If I were stranded on a desert island and could only take a couple of supplements, this is what I would take.

- Which I refer to as systemic enzymes. It's funny that Ellen's are called digestive enzymes but she is taking them like proteolytic/systemic enzymes.
whatever works!!!

It was a biological dentist I went to and this is how they wanted them to be taken.

Ellen, I am so happy to read this... Who woulda thunk? A dentist? I may have to try this too. Is this all you are doing new?

Taking digestive enzymes on an empty stomach between meals may be "digesting" parasites and/or yeast...hence improvement...
Also, proteolytic enzymes sometimes have anti-inflammatory properties, but only when taken apart from food.
