Digestive Enzymes And Hypoglycemia Posted: 06-21-06 16:35pm
I've started to take digestives enzymes to
help me with eating more often to fight
hypoglycemia. I have functional
dyspepsia so eating protein/fat too often
can hurt my stomach a lot, so I figured
those enzymes would help.
Here is the formula:
digest plus, by genestra
each tablet contains betaine
hydrochloride.......162.5 mg
glutamic acid.......162.5 mg
pancreatin 6x conc........65 mg
provides the equivalent of 390 mg
papain (papaya).......65 mg
pepsin.......25 mg
protease activity.......390000 usp
amylase activity.......6500 usp
lipase activity.......520 us
i wonder if those enzymes are good for
hypoglycemic person, as they may break
complex carbs and proteins and fats
molecules faster, hence maybe elevate
blood sugar level faster? In other
words: if I follow a strict hypoglycemic
diet, would those enzymes actually damage
or even ruin all the efforts I make by
digesting too fast food that meant to be
slowly digested?

I can't comment on this product since
their are items there I have never even
heard of.
Did someone recommend this product for
you?
Perhaps you should stick to simpler items.
Papaya enzyme is good for digestion as
is acidopholous.
P.S. You're anxiety is talking again.
;) you bought this product but you're
concerned about taking it. (remember,
i've been there, done that :).

I'm not sure either. The
calcium/magnesium/zinc tabs I take have a
digestive enzyme in them that's obvious
okay, it's the second one on that list
there. With something like this you'll
know pretty much immediately if you should
be avoiding it. I've heard the best way
to test is wait until you have discomfort,
and then take some apple cider vinegar to
see if it relieves it. If so, you need
to increase hydrochloric acid or possibly
digestive enzymes. I would try that
first since it won't hurt you, mix it with
some water to cut the harshness of it.
I've done this before and know a guy who
takes a tablespoon with every meal because
he said it helped to cure him faster.
