Enzymes and reflux
Can you take too many digestive enzymes? My son has a bumps all over his backand I’m not sure what is going on with his system. He is 8. He has a terribletime with food and is on a rotation diet.
My son is also have a terrible time with relux…does anyone have anyexperience with this???? He does not do well with medications so we’ve beenhoping to remedy this naturally…I’m just not getting anywhere. We’veeliminated foods related to reflux, moved dinner time to an earlier time, &elevated his bed. I’ve recently tried a product called Acid Smooth, but it hasnot helped.
He is taking a probiotic (Udos I believe) and takes digestive enzymes.
Thanks so much!!!!

He does not take the entire bottle, but he takes one at eachmeal and snack. It is by Enzymedica…Digest. I also started himon a probiotic…Udos…things seem to have gotten worse, however,the reflux has been an issue for a couple of months…the foodintolerances have been an issue since he was a toddler…probably aninfant (he is 8 now).
Anyway, he has had at least 32 episodes of relux today alone..andthat is less than the past few days…and I’m really worried. Hisalso suffers from frequent migraines (111 in 2005).
Enzymedica said you cannot take too many enzymes, but it seems thatthe more I give him the worse his reflux is. I also tried theirAcid Smooth for reflux, but it keeps coming.
