If you run a search, you'll find a tremendous amount of information about enzymes/brands, etc.
I take an enzyme pill which helps me breakdown the components of food, i.e. protease (for protein), amylase (for carbohydrates), and lipase (for fats). The pill also contains such features as Betaine HCI, Ox Bile extract, Bromelain, Pepsin, Papain, & Cellulase. Vegetarian enzymes are also available. For gas naturally occurring from eating carbohydrates, I use a product called "Beano."
When I take these pills, and I'm stable, I can consume most plant originated foods without discomfort.
I food process most of my vegetables. It may be interpretted as either adult babyfood or gourmet sauces. They can easily be smoothies or shakes. With this tool, I can enjoy the anti-oxidants/nutrients & fiber. I can even tolerate small quantities of beans/legumes, when stable, if well food processed. (i.e. hummus or lentil soup or other bean sauces, dips) Berries, in season, are a delightful treat, in small quantities. As usual, caution must be exercised/apply. Too much will give me an attack. Also too little will cause discomfort & ill health. Seriously, though, Beano helps with notoriously gassy foods.
Kate, IBS-D.
