Need to know desperatly how I can take enterically coated pills

My name is Kay . I am 57 years old and had my ds done in 02. I have had sever arthuritic problems and a lot of inflamation problems. I found a aprotein enzyme called serratiopeptidose. I will explain to you exactly how it works on a NORMAL PERSON. Then could you tell me exactly HOW WE DS PATIENTS WOULD TAKE IT FOR IT TO WORK?????????I would be forever grateful for any help you can give me.THE SERRATIOPEPTIDASE PROTEIN ENZYME IS ABSORBED THROUGH THE INTESTINES AND TRANSPORTED DIRECTLY INTO THE BLOOD STREAM.HOWEVER IF THE ENZYME IS CONSUMED IN UNPROTECTED TABLETS IT IS DISTROYED BY THE ACID IN THE STOMACH BEFORE IT GETS TO THE SMALL INTESTINE .THERE FOR TO BE EFFECTIVEERRATIOPEPTIDASE MUST MUST BE ENTERICALLY COATED.  SO HOW WOULD WE AS DS,PATIENTS TAKE THESE TABLETS FOR THEM TO WORK . TO GET IT TO ABSORBED THROUGH THE INTESTINES AND AND TRANSPORTEDDIRECTLY INTO THE BLOOD STREAMS. THATS WHY IF THE ENZYME IS UNPROTECTED IT WILL AGAIN IT WILL BE DISTROYED BY THE ACID IN THE STOMACH. IT WILL BE DESTROYED BY THE ACID IN OUR STOMACH. sO CAN ANY ONE TELL ME HOW WE SHOULD TAKE THIS ENZYME               TO WORK. wE HAVE TO TAKE IT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.. i WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. kAY

The function of the stomach is to breakdown the chewed food into a semi-fluid mass of partly digested food, known as chyme.***

Chyme is then pumped into the duodenum (first section of the small intestine).  The rate of movement of the stomach contents (chyme) to the small intestine is balanced with the rate of pancreatic and biliary secretions, to permit efficient extraction of nutrients.***

***IMPORTANT NOTE: This process, which is completed in the stomach, duodenum (beginning of small intestine), and part of the jejunum (farther along part of small intestine), does not happen anymore after a RNY gastric bypass. After RNY the chewed food from the mouth goes into the small pouch that is left, which is then dumped directly into a farther along part of the small intestine. There are no pancreatic and biliary secretions coming into this part of the small intestines anymore. These secretions will not be available until the food reaches the common channel (the lower part of the “Y” connection. This is the malabsorptive part of the Roux en Y gastric bypass procedure.

A “normal” stomach also includes secretion of:

● Acid ● Intrinsic factor ● Pepsin ●Mucus ● Bicarbonate

These secretions are important for digestion.  Normally very balanced, a mismatch of these secretions can lead to peptic ulcer disease.

In the RNY gastric bypass patient most of these secretions are no longer available for digestion, as the majority of the stomach has been separated from the pouch.

oH MY GOSH i FEEL SO DUMB. i AM SORRY BUT WHAT YOU JUST SENT ME IS TOTTALY AMOTHER LANGUAGE.yOU MUST BE SO SMART TO KNOW THIS. wHEN i DIDN,T UNDERSTAND A WORD. wITH HOW i TOLD YOU HOW THIS ENZYME WORKS THE COATED CAPLET HAVING TO GET THRU OUR STOMACH UNCHANGED AND HAVING IT TO GET TO OUR INTESTINES AND DIRECTLY TO OUR BLOOD STREAMS TO WORK .do you think this enzyme will work for me a ds weight loss surgery person. If so how would I take it to work on an empty stomach. Hope to hear from you soon. Kay

Kay, My suggestion would be to check with your doctor.  He should be able to let you know what to do in your case.   Always follow their directions.

I WOULD ASK MY DR. BUT MY WEIGHT LOSS DR IS DR. HESS AND HE RETIRED YEARS AGO AND MY FAMILY DR. KNOWS APSOLUTLY NOTHING ABOUT THE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY AND HOW IT WORKS. sO i HAVE APSOLUTLY KNOW ONE TO TURN TO. dO YOU KNOW ANY ONE WHO WOULD KNOW OR TRY TO EXPLAIN TO ME IF YOU BELIEVE THIS ENZYME WILL WORK WITH THE WAY OUR BODIES WORK? kAY
