Crystal, How are you giving the enzymes? Are you opening the capsules and

mixing the powder into food or drink? If you're putting it in food, you have to

be careful that you're getting the powder completely mixed in (no dry

powder)..... and then having him swallow them down in a bite or two, followed by

a drink or more bites of food..... so that none of the dry powder is left in his

mouth or throat. The enzymes can burn and irritate the mucous membranes..... but

they are fine in the stomach.... just need to get them down all the way into the

stomach pretty quickly..... where they can mix with liquid in the stomach......

and give at the beginning of, or a short while in advance of a meal. Also....

never sprinkled onto hot food... or it ruins the enzymes. You probably already

know all of this...... but just in case, I thought I'd post it.

There is a Dr who has a lot of pts with DS and he has repeatedly said

that enzymes +reflux = ulcer ;-)

The problem is the enzymes don't REMAIN in the stomach but are refluxed

up over and over causing damage.
