Ellen,

Do you mean enzymes to combat yeast, or enzymes to aid digestion?

Well, when I originally asked the question I meant digestive enzymes.

Even though i have no overt digestive problems I have been thinking

that because of my gluten intolerance taking something like the

Houston enzymes might help prevent other IgG food intolerances from

developing. My stomach seems to empty quickly so I thought that a

gelatin capsule would be best as you have mentioned here several times

recently that they dissolve more rapidly than the vegetable caps.

But since the original question I have seen you post on the GFCf list

about proteolytic enzymes for Candida and you have me curious. i have

not heard of them used this way before. So I will try to find some

info about this, but would apprecciate anything you can say.

So really the short answer is both, although the one for Candida

wouldn't matter that much if it dissolved quickly or not, as I believe

that proteolytic enymes are taken separately from food.

From my local HFS.

Trial and error :-)

Wild Oats. Although I'm sure all these things are available online if you

can't get them locally.

Yes :-(

I'm hoping I did the

>that it was worth the cost?

I pay about $25/bottle. It used to be $23 until recently, IIRC. But it's the

most effective antimicrobial I've tried so far. Although I'm sure it would

be better if I took several anti-fungals at once along with proteolytic

enzymes. And to be fair, I haven't tried all the anti-fungals out there. I

think Undecylic acid might be good too, but I only took one bottle of it

before I decided to cut back on the amount of antifungals I was taking due

to the expense.

>How long do you plan to keep up the oreganol?

I don't know. I' haven't given it a lot of thought lately, but in the next

few weeks I'm going to clear my head and come up with some sort of plan. I'm

sure I'll keep the Oreganol in my protocol for a while.

If 30 drops/day is too expensive, you could always start with a lower dose

and see if it seems to be helping.

One caution, it *may* be hard on the liver. When I first started taking it I

didn't notice any difference, but after a couple of months my tolerance for

alcohol seems diminished. I assume that might have to do with the quantity

of Oreganol I'm taking, but I guess it could be due to a mold problem in my

house or some other cause. Anyway, I take liver support regularly too, which

is probably a good idea when loading up on anti-fungals.

If you do decide to take it, I'd love to know how it works for you!
