Pineapple is Wonderful! it's probably one of the best for digestion, healing and is a great amino acid. i'm sure you've probably heard this but, chew, chew, chew helps your body make more enzymes. Good luck to you sweetie! dona

I take one my doctor (also a vegan) takes which is specially for vegans and vegetarians. It is called Similase BV. I love it. I also take Ultra Flora IB to restore my gut flora which is an even more important part of the process.

You should check with a doctor before taking anything.

I also had neck radiation and lost a lot of salivary function. I was starting to wonder if that is affecting my digestion(which isn't good right now). I'm glad you asked this question, although I don't have any answers for you.

I take a brand called Enzalase. My doc loves these - He is one of the best docs in the world and I trust him. Pricey. But they do seem to really help. http://www.enzalase.net/

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I am also curious about the difference between prescription enzymes and over the counter.

Just so you know Alicia. Mine aren't prescription but they were referred by my doc.

I'm not sure about this but look into Wobenzymes as they are supposed to be anti-cancer as well. There must be other people that know about this.

Wobenzyme is not for digestion per se but for joint pain, inflammation. It is supposed to be taken on an empty stomach, away from meals, to digest all the floating protein molecules that are causing pain.

Prescriptions are stronger. I also take 2 Creon tablets with every meal. I have a very compromised digestive tract and thus need both (or so the doc says). I have particular trouble digesting fats.

Wheat Grass shots unclogged me real good. Natures cleansing juice.

Tastes like you went grazing in a meadow, but, it works and its only a shot. Chased with orange juice and its not so bad.

Enzymedica Digest Gold and Garden Of Life Omegazyme Ultra are 2 of the strongest formulas. Very similar ingredients to David Wolfe/Sunfood's enzyme formula, but cheaper. As Bueller mentioned, probiotics are very important as well. But Ultra Flora IB has milk and soy in it, so definitely not that one. Need a non-dairy version.
