Bromelain for digestive system

[MAYNARDSMOM]

I just read in a magazine to aid w/gas you should drink 1 cup of pinapple juice since it contains the enzyme bromelain. I really don't want all the sugar that comes w/pineapple juice so am wondering if a supplement would work just as well. Anyone have any knowledge on this? I did read it should only be taken for 8 - 10 days at a time.

I ordered Swanson Extra Strength Bromelain, as I think it supposed to be one of the best. However, I did not notice any difference with my digestion. I have a variety of problems, and I was hoping it would make a difference. As a matter of fact, I think I noticed I had excess gas when I used it. It may not have been due to that, though. When you have so many problems, it's hard to pinpoint causes!

I don't think it could hurt to try it, though. All digestive enzymes have some Bromelain in them (I think), but it is supposed to be the most important one.
