Papaya Enzymes

OK, we've all talked about how wonderful those little "Pez"-like pills are.  I was talking with an assistant teacher in the cafeteria this morning and she said something about Papaya nectar or juice might work the same way.  We were talking about my husband's digestion problems and she said that's what someone had suggested.  I imagine that papaya juice could be found in the ethnic foods aisle near the hispanic foods.  I do like those pills though.

I saw the Papaya pills @ Walmart yesterday when I was looking for Ginseng.  :)  Just FYI.

So what exactly are they for... what do you do with them... when do you take them??  I've very curious I have a bottle... but don't know what to do with them!!

Several people on here have talked about how good they are when food gets stuck because they help to break down protein.

Judy,  If you ever feel like a stuck or heaviness in your throat/chest/tummy during a meal or snack, just chew and swallow the papaya pills and they should help relieve the discomfort.  I chew 4 tablets when I feel the heaviness in my chest after I swallow a not-so-chewed small bite (usually when I'm talking during a meal and not focusing on chewing!).  My discomfort eases up within about a minute. 

Oh, ok, good to know...  Hopefully i won't need them, but as i said i have them and certainly could have used them last week when i thought i would die after eating yogurt much too quickly... it never occured to me to actually take any of the papaya enzymes, though..... DUH!!!
