Trouble Digesting Protein

Three suggestions:

1) see the dr & get checked to see if your blood/urine etc tests (liver & kidney functions) are ok.

2)go to a search engine (like yahoo or google) & see what foods other than meats are high in protein, then eat these instead of meat for a while & see if the same thing happens or not??

3) see an alternative therapist (naturopath?) & see what they say.

Cooked meat loses its enzyme content. In fact cooking anything kills the enzymes in foods. In order to digest such cooked food, your body has to produce its own enzymes for digestion. Your body produces diminishing amounts of enzymes with age. Eating more raw foods (such as the fruits and vegetables you mention) will require your body to produce less enzymes as they are already present in the raw food.

You can either buy an enzyme supplement containing protease (availabe at health food stores) or eat more raw foods and less cooked food.

Now if only I could practice what I preach!

rub a piece of KIwi on a piec e of meat, then put it in a plastic bag for 20 min to half hour. You will be surprised at how the Kiwi has broken down the meat after such a short period of time. Maybe a bit of Kiwi after a meat meal will aid digestion. It is amazing how quickly the meat gets broken down.
