KidRok said:Does anyone use any sort of enzymes or whatever to aid in digestion of proteins? Just curious what some of the options are, something that aids assimilation and reduces bloat (and gas).

KidRok said:The bloat is kind of a secondary concern, but my main problem is cramming down enough food and helping my body to actually digests the extra food!

supersport said:You might want to look into supplementing some hydrochloric acid-a lot of people don't produce enough for an everyday diet, and a BB eating like a horse is probably way under on HCI. I think gas is mostly from undigested carbs. Try some HCI and enzymes-don't get the el cheapo crap at wal-mart or even GNC. Go to a real health food store and get the good stuff. If you do it let me know how it works out.
dpsquat said:I personally use and recomend a fibor supplement to my clients! As far as digestive enzimes gnc as one called enzyme digestent its about $13.00. This is a must during precontest conditions. As far as the "gas" that Kidrock is having. well it may be due to the type of protiens fractions used.. I personally CANT digest whey concentrates by themselves. I usually end up with cramping ! I have switch to blended protiens and never use one without a fibor supplement of some type. and a carb to help slow down the digestion.
supersport said:If you have bad cases of bloat and gas it could be a form of candidasis-especially if you have had a course of antibiotics lately or eat alot of sugars. Candida is an overgrowth of "bad ' bacteria in the gut-our good bacteria usually keeps it from spreading into the stomache, unless things are out of balance. Ever seen anyone with a white tongue or mouth? (Thrush) that is a severe case of candidasis. Nyastin(pos. sp) is a drug used without really good results. Supplementing a high quality probiotic from a health food store works good most of the time(make sure to get a refrigerated form-better quality).
homonunculus said:Hey SS!!!
Candida is actually a class (genus) of fungus, not bacteria. If you've got candidiasis or thrush, it'll be painful to swallow and you've got lesions in your mouth.
Is there some evidence that people go around with low grade forms of candidiasis?... (I could believe it!)
