Digestive Enzyme

Hi all, during my last major flare which i’m still in this was close to 2 months ago. I have been struggling to regain weight. This brings me to my main question of this post.

DIGESTIVE ENZYME

Will these help me to gain weight and eat more? If so which ones should I use?

I found a weight gaining post that was called ‘High calorie foods which don’t fill you up?’ to the reply of this was a suggestion to use Digestive Enzyme’s the idea beening the faster you digest, the faster you can eat again. This would sound ideal for me. I am just eating as much as I can, trying to follow the SCD diet and it is almost impossible for me to gain weight without steriod help, I have given up with steriods. Yes they worked during my first 2 years with UC but I feared getting weak bones, I have spine curve and lower back problems as well and exercise hurts these.

My goal would be to put on at least 25 lbs and get back to what I once was at 25 I am now 29.

-Cheers RIchard
