Papaya Enzyme = Drano



Recommended Posts

Well...well...well. I read on the board about how papaya enzyme was great for digestion...and if Dr. Oz likes it...it must be good? Right?

Well...if you take that stuff...you don't need to take much...and if your system is like mine...if you don't own a hat...you better buy one and hold on to it.

Let's just say that it improves your regularity issues. (Wow)

From the things I've read...papaya enzyme helps purge dead tissue and material naturally. You can buy that stuff for around $3 at the pharmacy or grocery store....and yes...it works. (Well enough that I had to come write something on the forum about it.)

Ask your doctor....the tablets are sweet...chewable (they dissolve into almost nothing) and uh...yeah...they work.

Has anyone else tried them?

I saw those posts and bought some, too! I saw somewhere on here that they could help with stuck episodes. Maybe not worth it, huh?

I don't know. I mean...if you need it...you need it. For anyone that's having issues with regularity (considering we eat almost nothing and in such small amounts that it alters that part of digestion. The papaya will definitely "straighten that out" safely.

Initially they do that for me...which is pretty nice. They do seem to help that part of things. The other side of it is the "drano-effect" though. (Maybe I'm just 'full of it'. Ha!)

I have used them and they don't work like draino for me. They work for me if I'm just feeling "kinda stuck" to help that feeling go away. If I'm stuck bad they don't help. Thank goodness It only took me a few episodes to learn my lesson. To stay regular I eat a Fiber gummie every day.

Where in the world do you buy these things? I asked my pharmacist at my grocery store and he had never heard of them.

I bought mine at the health food store. Did not work like drano but they really made me (my stomach) feel better. I was feeling like everything I ate was getting stuck. I got a bottle of 120 for like 8 bucks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
