Hi Mike; Well you can tell by the results of using enzymes as the symptoms of gas, bloating and excrements analysis changes (looks and smell are indicative of their having worked).
If the stools are smelly the body is not digesting properly. But taking enzymes is not the whole answer as one must look at the diet (too many cooked foods in the diet, too many combined meals like meat and grains (or starches) and the body runs into problems digesting them. http://www.healthy.net/scr/Article.asp?Id=848 might be a good place to start. I have several books on Enzymes and lot of other links etc on enzymes. I recommend a fermented salad often for dogs that are sick that includes enzymes (for this use they just use a mixture as it is handier this way) though for the fermented salad just Cellulase and Amylase is needed, to break down the pulp so that the probiotic (good bacteria) can feed and multiply. This mixture boost the immune system and helps with constipation and diarrhea.

A quick google on 'enzyme depletion' shows many hits, but most of them seem to be selling products to add enzymes to your diet. The question is do they really work? I know some people abhor quackwatch, but personally I look for the truth wherever I can find it. Here is an article pointing out that enzymes are proteins, and are simply digested just like every other protein. So the enzyme supplements don't have any effect: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/mp.html Some of his arguments are hard to refute. Can you offer any?
