    huh , I didnt even know that enzyme insufficiency could be a thing other than from a lack of lactase production. I was onky focused on my lack of lactase production but I never thought that I could be lacking the other enzymes like sucrase, Amylase and lipase.

    WIll have to ask my doctor about that.

    Also if you know please, do you know if just eating a hydrochloric acid supplement would suffice for a a treatment of enzyme insufficiency? Someine suggested it to me before as a way of treating heartburn and it makes sense as a treatment since its the main componenet that the stomach uses to ‘burn’ food into smaller pieces.

      I do think asking a doctor is the right call - I only know about these from hearing anecdotal reports from people who came into the health food store I worked in, don’t think the supplements are dangerous but without guidance you might waste time and money.

      Also there is a comment in the below thread you may find interesting, someone with bad heartburn who was treated with some peptide.
