I am having such a hard time healing. I have been VERY careful, but my intestines just hurt a lot. I did get a piece of a crouton in my salad Sunday and didn't know it until I ate it. :( I got real sick last night with D and lost 1.5 lbs. Now I'm back down to 106.5. :( I thought taking some enzymes to help me digest food will help. It has alfalfa in it also and that is supposed to be very good for you. I would like to take them forever. lol. Is that ok? Or do you have to stop sometime?

Thanks

Your body produces enzymes from the time you are born until you die. So you can take them as long as you want.

Sorry you arent feeling well. Hope you get better soon. :)

You can lose enzymes as you get older so you need more with age. More fresh fruits and veggies. ;)

I eat plenty of fruits and veggies. I just hate protein. My doc wants me to eat 90 gms a day, but it's HARD. I don't like it. Anyway, I have a hard time digesting proteins. I'm hoping it will be easier with the enzymes.

No you can't take them for too long. Some people need to be on them forever. I am not sure that Alfalfa will really do anything. Just make sure that you get amalayse, protease and lipase. That is all the prescription enzymes contain.

It has all the regular enzymes plus the alfalfa.

On the Alfalfa...I would do 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off so you dont develop an intolerance to it.

      Agreed. Dairy is just as bad as gluten for me.

      Many probiotics start with growing the bacteria on a dairy substrate leaving traces of dairy in the probiotics.   Many Celiacs react to dairy in the same way as they react to gluten because certain protein chains in dairy resemble gluten protein chains.   @Wheatwacked ferments his own pickles.  Perhaps he can chime in.

      The AIP diet does have a vegetarian version.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne developed the AIP diet for herself and her children, all Celiacs.  The AIP diet has been shown in scientific studies to promote intestinal healing.  You might visit her website.  https://www.thepaleomom.com/
