Early signs of enzyme deficiency are digestive complaints such as heartburn, gas, bloating and belching. Other symptoms may include headaches, stomach aches, diarrhea, constipation, chronic fatigue, yeast infections, and nutritional deficiencies.

Because these symptoms are so prevalent, many people consider them to be normal. However, they are an indication/efficacy that the body cannot process the food eaten. Digestive problems concern the stomach, intestines, colon, liver, pancreas, and gall bladder.

Digestive disease is the major cause for hospitalization more than any other disease category. Americans spend more than 50 billion dollars a year in hospitals for surgical procedures and other treatments. Digestive complaints are the major reason given for absenteeism from work or school.

Eating enzyme-less food compromises every aspect of the digestive process : digestion, absorption, assimilation, and elimination. All of these processes are essential for good nutrition and a healthy body.
