Do any other banders use papya enzyme? I love it and it works so well for me when i am eating dense proteins. I was just curious if anyone else does? I usually take it before i eat pork, steak, hamburger.

I use it on occasion.  It won't completely relieve a "stuck" situation but it has helped me when I get that feeling that food is just sitting at the stoma and causing discomfort.

You can find it in the vitamin/supplement section of your drug store.

I haven't heard that one, but it seems logical.  Just keep in mind the liquid calories via sugar in juice.  I don't drink any juices anymore unless they are sugar free. 

The Papaya tablets are chewable, FYI.

 I would only use it if something were stuck. It suppose to work the same as the papya. Something with the enzymes in it that helps free up stuff

I used to use it in the beginning when I first had restriction.  But over time I have learn recipies that make the meat so tender that I haven't had any reason for it.  I really never had any problems with ewd meat...my problem was with white meat.  Try different recipies...maybe you will find some that will take away your need for it.
