do you wait 15 min. after enzymes to eat?

[coltsfan715]

I can understand why you would take them 15 minutes beforehand - because you would want to give the med time to get into your system so the enzymes could assist you in digesting the food from the very first bite to the very last.

That being said I have been told by my doc it is best to take them with the first bite of food. For the same reason - so they are in your system and helping digest ALL the food. I used to take them towards the end of my meals because I would always just get hungry and never took time to take them before eating. I never had any MAJOR problems with taking them after meals, but I take them before meals now since the doc recommended and everything is fine.

I always took them as soon as i was done eating. Here and there i take it right before i take a bite of food but usually only while i am driving and am at a red light and about to eat something and its convenient to take it before hand so that i dont forget.

no--i never have done this. in fact, much of the time it i am taking them 15 minutes AFTER eating. i have no problems with this but i can't speak for everyone. i do not have really bad digestive issues either.

good luck.

I take my enzymes right before I eat, or during if I forget to take them before, but I dont know if they told my mom the same thing about waiting 15-30min, but what I do remember when I was little was my mom would put enzymes into my applesauce or mashed potatoes.

I give the enzymes to my son (almost 3 years old) right before he begins eating. I was told the enzymes are good for approx. 1 hour after taking them and sometimes it may take that long to get him to eat all of his food. So I don't want to waste the first 15 minutes!!

I was always told you had an hour window. Like if you eat and forget your enzymes, that you can take them up to an hour after eating, and they will still be effective. I however, take my enzymes and usually eat right away.

I take the enzymes right before I eat, always - unless I forget for some reason, and then I take them as soon as I remember after (unless it has been, like, hours). I do not have major digestive issues - weigth gain has always been fine, but I have taken enzymes all my life as well.

I pop the enzymes, swallow them, and then put food in my mouth not 30 seconds later. It works just fine for me that way.
