NOW Foods Super Enzymes - 90 Capsules

Really Work, feel so much better.

My children and I all have Celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder which causes an allergic reaction to the protein GLUTEN, found in many, many prepared and pre-packaged foods, as well as wheat, rye, barley and oats from the U.S.). Exposure to the protein causes inflammation of the small-intestinal lining, which inhibits the secretion of digestive enzymes. The result is an inability to digest MOST food for several days after the exposure. This can lead to ALL SORTS of gastroinstestinal distress, as well as what is known as "leaky gut" syndrome, where undigested (and toxic) particles of food enter the bloodstream through fissures caused by the allergic reaction. This can cause neurological problems and myriad other symptoms.As you can imagine, exposure to the protein is really not fun. Those with Celiac disease will attest that you can be so careful and yet still inadvertantly be exposed to the protein. What you need is something to help counterbalance the small intestine's inability to secrete digestive enzymes for several days while your body tries to heal itself.After years of trying MANY enzymic aids for this purpose, I find this product is the most superior digestive aid on the market. I cannot stress that enough. These supplements are gluten, casein, and all other allergen-free. They work superbly in helping to mediate the effects of inadvertant exposure to gluten. In fact, as a mother of three Celiac children (who have all adapted quite well to the very strict dietary restrictions imposed by the disease, despite living in a society with dietary habits overwhelmed by wheat use), I find that allowing them to have gluten once a month or so (usually pizza) makes it easier for them to deal with it. I give them these enzymes with every meal for several days after consuming gluten, and it really makes a difference for them.If a digestive enzyme can help with our dietary issues, imagine what it can do for those without such problems!As a mental-health professional, I can also tell you that so much research indicates a correlation between the proteins gluten and casein and an increase in autistic symptoms (Google "Gluten free Casein free" and you'll find many support groups and foundations which advocate this dietary restriction for autistics). I highly recommend these enzymes, and especially for anyone suffering food allergies or insensitivities, as well as for children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, or other behavioral issues (as there is much research which indicates food allergies and sensitivities seems to exacerbate these problems).

I have a really hard time digesting fats and proteins, and would often get digestive upset after most meals. My doctor suspects I have mild IBS. Since adding these enzymes, those digestive issues have decreased significantly. I would say by at least 85%. The only times it doesn't work is if I eat waaayy too much, or drink wine or hard alcohol with my meal. It hasn't completely cured my issues, especially with my #1 sensitivity to egg, but it has really helped. It's nice to not have to worry about staying close to a bathroom after a meal.

These capsules have helped me quite a bit over the last couple of months. I've noticed a huge difference in how I feel after eating. The only drawback is that I have to take a probiotic as well. If the acidophilus was added to these i think they would be the best out there. NOW is the only brand I trust so I'm content with taking two pills.

This is helping me a lot with all the side effects I had at the beginning of taking GlP1 medication ; is ease of swallowing, no smell no taste , great quality and great price

Great

I have purchased so many different brands of pro biotics and pre biotics and never have had the results I have had with this brand. If you want to stay regular and stay healthy, then maybe take a chance on these Super Enzymes. I am blown away how well these work.I will continue to buy these for sure and have recommended them to my family and friends

I never noticed a difference in weight loss. I felt more bloated when I took these.
