I didn't know pineapple juice is good for digestion. Does it help the enzymes work better? My daughter has been on enzymes for almost 6 months now and she still gets really bloated and her stools are very inconsistent. We've switched enzymes once already and she is already at her max. dosage on the new ones.

Hi,
just a thought, but maybe you are allergic against something you eat very often or your body doesn´t "like" lactose, which is in milk? Maybe you should get tested for that!

Hiya:

I think maybe you should try a new kind of enzymes. This unexplained weight loss......that is scary...are you eating less because you worry that your stomach is gonna bloat up after you eat? I know that vegis give me problems

To everyone in this forum - Have any of you been tested for Celiac Sprue Disease? It is a Wheat Gluten Intolerance that causes all the symptoms you are experiencing. It is a VERY underdiagnosed disease, and requires you to ask your doctor for the proper test. I was diagnosed with a colonoscopy, however now it can be diagnosed with a blood or fecal test. There is no cure, but totally manageable by eliminating all wheat and wheat gluten foods from your diet. You will feel sooooooo much better! I encourage you to explore this option and search the internet for more info. There are lots of websites that explain the disease and how to manage it. Also support groups. Good luck!

What about yeast? Yeast overgrowth in the gut can cause alot of problems. Many pwcf have yeast overgrowth because of frequent antibiotic use.
