Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Yes, I would separate dosing between enzymes and probiotics. One doctor told me he saw better results with probiotics if enzymes weren't taken at the same time. Probably because the attachment factors produced by probiotics to allow them to attach to the gut wall are proteins, and possibly the enzymes interfere with this process. Taking enzymes before the meal, and probiotics after or between meals maybe a better dosing regimine.
