WLS Info: Papaya Enzyme

Current mood: curious

I've seen this a couple times- papaya enzyme- what do you use it for?
For things like this, is it something you were recommended to take from doctors/dieticians or is it something you just started on your own?

"I have used it when food (meat/protein) is stuck. It works by increasing and loosening your mucus secretions and also breaking down protein...so if food is stuck, it will help it slide through faster in theory. It hasn't done much to help me, but I still keep it on hand. I heard about it here on OH, and have asked my RD/NUT about it, and she said that some people have said it is helpful. It's not something I take as a regular daily supplement."

"Nope, I started taking it on my own...it's a natural protein eater....if you have food "stuck".. that horrible stuck feeling from eating a big piece of meat or you ate too fast and food has blocked up into your "throat feeling". Eat some papaya enzyme.. and it will tenderize the protein.. It ONLY works with protein.. not fruit or veggies. An emergency remedy is also meat tenderizer...you mix 2 tblspns of meat tenderizer in a VERY warm glass of water and chug it down. The meat tenderizer tastes GROSS!! It will probably make you vomit before it actually gets a chance to work on the offending protein.. but if you are in desperate need of moving that protein because of such pain...you mind the outcome.Papaya enzyme taste a hell of a lot better.. it comes in it's natural "fruity" flavor or you can get it in mint flavor and it works in about 15 mins - 30 mins....I swear by it!!"

"XXX introduced me to it and OMG I'm so thankful to her for it!!
Earlier I had my breakfast stuck and remembered I keep a small container of it in my desk drawer and OMG I feel great now it works FABULOUSLY!!"

"I was able to find mind at Trader Joe's. I would imagine it would be easy to find at GNC, a health food store, Vitamin Shoppe, etc."

"Actually you can find it at Wal-mart ..in the health food section or the pharmacy diet aids. .and some of the Walgreens and local grocery stores...check both sections.. some have it one place and not the other..it comes in a bottle like vitamins or you can get a roll of it, like tums or rolaids. I have a bottle for home and roll of it in my purse..."
