ginger/pancreatin vs. pancreas

[Guest guest]

One thing that doesn't get thrown around this list for digestion too much

is... ginger. I find eating raw ginger or making a tea out of minced fresh

ginger (steeped for 20 minutes) to be great for digestions, and also seems to

kick

a stomach bug quick.

, have you tried that?

I've been using it a lot. I'm just waiting for to tell me its an

estrogen (I hope not!).

Speaking of digestion, pancreatin seems to be one of the most important

things. Now this is just derived from the pancreas, right, hence the name?

Does

anyone know how concentrated it is, and therefore how much raw pancreas you'd

have to eat to get the same enzymes?

I didn't save the pancreas when I slaughtered a lamb last time cause I

couldn't figure out where it was, but I'm definitely going to make sure I know

for

next time. If pancreas could sub for pancreatin, that could mean saving a LOT

of money.

I put a lot of it in my kimchi. Ginger is WONDERFUL for stomach issues.
