These symptoms can o en be incredibly uncomfortable and even embarrassing at mes. To understand diges ve distress, it is important to be aware of the powerful role enzymes play within the body. Enzymes begin their work with the very first bite of food—amylase enzymes in saliva break down starches into simple sugars. Later, as the food progresses through the diges ve tract, other enzymes like protease (which digests proteins), lipase (which breaks down fats), and cellulase (which breaks down cellulose, a type of fiber) work to further break down food. All enzymes have a specific func on within the body. Diges ve distress o en occurs when there simply aren't enough enzymes to completely break down a meal. Poorly digested food quickly begins to ferment, crea ng gas and other uncomfortable symptoms. An enzyme deficiency occurs when there aren't enough enzymes to break down food. Individuals may experience enzyme deficiencies as a result of various factors, like age, diet and lifestyle. Some people naturally have enzyme deficiencies, with diges ve challenges arising from dairy, casein, gluten and phenols being the most common. When an enzyme deficiency surrounds a specific food group, it is called a food intolerance. Enzymes are both produced within the body and contained in foods. Enzymes are sensi ve to temperature, and when food is cooked, they are destroyed. This is one reason why it is important to eat raw food whenever possible. Because it o en isn't ideal or desired to eat a completely raw diet, many consider enzyme supplementa on. It is possible to purchase enzyme products that are specific to certain intolerances, while others are designed to help break down the en re meal. Both types of products may be beneficial for diges ve distress. When choosing an enzyme product, look for one containing blends of enzymes. The most innova ve products will op mize ac vity by blending different strains of the same type of enzyme for maximum effec veness across the wide range of pH levels throughout the body.
