I seem to have problem digesting starchy foods, fats(even Omega-3 Fish oils), and sugars. I eat a very healthy diet (40% veg/Fruits, 30%Protiens, and 30% starch). Yet I still get bloating and gas, and even loose stool, if i take fish oil for more than 3 days in a row, or take veggie caps, or any dairy products. Last night, for the first time a friend, who is a doctor recommended I get tested for enzyme deficiencies. But before going through all the tests, I just want to go down to my local nutritional store and buy the best Digestive Enzyme product possible and try it…….. So please help me with your recommendations??????? thanks
but not cellulose despite the fact that both basically are made up of glucose subunits?
A. Enzyme activity is regulated.
B. Enzymes usually speed up chemical reactions.
C. Enzymes are not permanently changed by the reactions they promote.
D. Enzymes are highly specific.
E. All enzymes are proteins.
As far as I know, the human body can not digest cellulose because it lacks the enzyme, and instead uses the cellulose as a fiber to add bulk. So wouldn’t taking a digestive enzyme supplement which contains cellulase (most ones I find do contain it) reduce fiber in the diet, or otherwise not be beneficial because you’re making the digestive system do something it’s not naturally meant to do? Thanks!
