We always give them to ds right before eating. If he starts snacking and eats more than expected or something requiring enzymes we give him a couple enzymes afterwards. When he was a newborn he was a TERRIBLE eater and we were concerned he wouldn't take the enzymes if we gave them to him later or that they wouldn't get washed down with his formula and that he'd have beads stuck in his mouth, causing ulcers or irritation.

Ok here is my experience on this. Lately, I have been wondering which way is best for me. I decided to muscle test to see if it is best to take my Enzymes before during or after a meal. I found it works for me if I take them after a few bites after a meal. Then after eating a meal, I found that I need more enzymes depending on what I eat. So I take my enzymes during and after a meal. My stomach is working much better now.
When I was in the hospital after my transplant, at first I could not eat solid foods so I put my enzymes into yogurt. The enzymes turned my yogurt into liquid. It only took a minute or two for this to work. That means that it is best to take the enzymes right after you are eating or shortly after from my experiment.
My enzymes are not the traditional enzymes so perhaps this is what works best for me.
Muscle testing is a good tool but you can test strong to something today and then after a week, you get a different answer. I retest myself when needed.

Honestly i am not sure they have a concrete answer to this. Growing up they kept switching philosophies on me. So they've had me take them 15 min before, right before, spread throughout and immediately after. They finally landed on "right before" and if you forget....asap unless it's been more than an hour in which case...I'm screwed. I didn't think I noticed much difference either which way as long as I don't forget. Currently I take them as soon as I think of it which is probably nott the recommended way but it gets the job done <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
