Digestive Enzymes

Do you have a certain food that you've stopped eating because it's upsetting to digest? About 50 million Americans ( 50 million! ) have a lactose intolerance. This is a major population not eating dairy, simply because they can't digest it. When you eliminate foods from your diet you are eliminating much needed nutrition.
Try rebuilding your digestive function instead.
If you are lactose intolerant, flatulant, belchy, burpy, have stomach pain or cramping, diarrhea, bloating or indigestion, feel stuffed after eating or frequently use antacids you may be a perfect candidate for digestive enzymes
Not all digestive enzymes are equal. Most are animal based enzymes and offer only a single enzyme.
The product I recommend to my clients is plant sourced and offers a multi-action solution. It contains Lactase, Alpha- Galactosidase, Protease, Amylase and Lipase.
Taking our comprehensive digestive enzyme product will help alleviate discomfort from gas and bloating, help digest problem foods such as dairy, beans and broccoli. It will support digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates in all foods. It enables nutrients to be absorbed into the blood stream.
Our high quality digestive enzyme product is more complete and more effective than enzyme products like Lactaid and Beano

i can see the movie in my head...feel cramped-bloated--burpy--belchy--frtsy?
and the michelin guy dances with the little white doughboy...then appears the handmaiden--floating through a field of flowers---light and enzymatically happy.
all adults lose the capacity to produce lactase and galactase to digest dairy, watch for yoghurt and pizza, quesadilla and burrito, and even potatoes au gratin..unless you take your full spectrum enzymes before splurging and gorging.

you are toooo funny nadine --- love the michelin man image - oh my gosh and yes that's me the handmaiden enzymatically happy!! It is a bit of a farce to eat enzymes if you do it so you can eat the bad stuff ...that doesn't make sense at all!! Yet I bet lots of folks look at it that way!

I hope this information is helpful to other readers! My Brain and my Body are no longer Bloated! Six years ago, my body began an unexpected post-menopausal journey through a maze filled discomfort and confusion. My mantra was, “I am not digesting my food properly.” No one could give me a clear direction, let alone a cure. I finally discovered that I had become gluten intolerant. Now, I only eat rice and millet. Our eldest son has Type 1 diabetes and I had always had a dairy allergy, so it was easy for me to modify my diet. Then, I discovered that I could not tolerate soy, sugar and fermented foods. When I began working with Karen, she offered me EZ-Gest® along with Optiflora® Probiotic Complex. I had tried other digestive enzymes, however they did not work as well as EZ-Gest®. I use the EZ-Gest twice a day without fail, and if I forget, my body reminds me! Brava for EZ-Gest® and Karen’s knowledgeable consultation!
