What Causes Relief In Stomach Bloating After Taking Galactosidase Enzyme ?

I have been suffering with sever bloating for 11 years. I get so boated, I actually pass-out from the bloating and am unconscious for an hour or two. Two weeks ago I picked up a bottle of Gas X Prevention - which is mostly just A- galactosidase enzyme. I have experimented with many of the food situations that have cause me grief. If I take this pill when I begin to eat, I can eat almost anything (with minimal gas but no bloating). My question is this ----- What is going on inside of my body that makes this pill work so fantastically? I mean, Is my body supposed to be producing this AG enzyme and doesn t. If so Is there something that can be done to revive this function in me (‘cause at $6.99 for 20 pills. I ll be spending $1,000 a year on these piills.) . I get this enzyme from the pharmacist so my insurance would pay for it? By the way I also have parkinson s (diagnosed in 2004), which every doctor I ve gone to has said that that is whats causing my bloating (the parkinson s)                          Mike W

Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the deficiency of digestive enzymes if fulfilled by the intake of enzyme preparations and hence you get the stomach relief.

The insurance is not going to cover the OTC products without a doctor's prescription.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
