Stomach pains and lack of appetite can also come from problems with constipation. He may want to talk to his doctor about prescribing a light laxative.
On further research, I found saffron has been used historically for a number of medicinal uses, including as an appetite stimulant, so it may help. However, there seems to be two kinds of saffron flower, true saffron (Crocus sativus) is safe to use, but another type of saffron called meadow saffron, wild saffron, or Autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale) is toxic. Also, it appears I was wrong that saffron would be too expensive for medicine. Only the stigmas of the plant (The three threads in the center of the flower) are used, so it takes a great number of flowers to produce only a small amout (an estimated 50,000 to 75,000 flowers for one pound, or 0.45 kg), but medicinally only a 1-3 gram dose is needed. Unfortunately, that is still at least 100-300 flowers required for each dose. I could not find any information on whether the rest of the plant can be used medicinally.
<b>Edit:</b> I'm sure you probably already know that about saffron, stella, but I wanted to include the information for everyone else. You probably know way more about saffron than I do. =-)

I am not sure 100% but I do believe that Delta F508 - especially Double Delta F508 makes a person more prone to digestive issues and diabetes.
I know I personally am Double DF508 and I have always had to take enzymes and was diagnosed with diabetes at 17 (now 24).
I am not for certain on what I just said but I want to say that is what I have been told by my docs.

thanks to all.i have heard too that double delta f 508 is connected with digestive problems.it's the connection that can be done according to the genotype.i am asking about crocus-saffron because we plant this here in greece,it help very much with many issues.
c-mockingbird i liked your link!

I usually take 4 enzymes per meal. Depending on the snack it ranges from 1-3 enzymes with snacks. If I had to average I would say I take about 16 enzymes a day - that is 4 per meal (3 meals) and 2 per snack (2 snacks).
I take Ultrase MT 20.

Yes Ultrase is another type of enzyme - I have never taken Creon - but I know there are others on the site that have and do take Creon.
