Until the start of the weekend I'd been taking the Glutamine and Pancreatin as prescribed. It's been over a week since I begun the course and was told to reduce the intake. So I guess I've been sloppy. I've felt absolutely great 24/7 on this regime. First time in years! Nina from Green Ginger recommended something called Caricol manufactured in Austria from Papaya. This was supposed to replace the powdered Glutamine and to be taken after eating out.
We dined out at the Hare & Hounds last night after attendding Florie & Jan's house-warming. As a test I waited half an hour for symptoms, yes small indicators of minor issues before taking the Caricol.
This morning the gut pain was one of the first things I noticed. It's mild because it didn't wake me. Am not bent double and can breath. I think I'm going to continue with the current regime in smaller doses AND use the Caricol if I go out to eat. For me the Caricol isn't an adequate substitute for the Glutamine and my comfort levels.
