Questions about digestion/absorption

Would really love some help!

It's not normal to still be burping 3 - 6 hours after a meal, is it? Equally, it is not normal for one's stomach to still "feel" acidic after such a long time either, correct?

This is due to poor digestion, right?

Enzymes would help this, and I plan to get on some, but I'm wondering if they are just for breaking down the food or will they have a significant effect on my body's ability to absorb the nutrients further down the digestive line - after the stomach?

Will the enzymes help with slow bowel transit?

Will they have much of an impact on the formation of stool? I know some of this is due to flora as well as muscles.

That's all. Apologies if any of these are dumb, I guess. Some may have obvious answers. Bear with me, please.

Much appreciated! Cya in the morning, I hope!

-- making two posts, 'cause questions have often gotten passed over in my longer messages. keeping it short as possible here!

Well, it's not that I need bulk to my stools. I just meant would the enzymes affect its shape, consistency, etc. Normal, firm but soft, you know.

I'm thinking no, at least not a lot. The formation troubles are probably due to the dysbiosis/leaky gut, poor muscle function, all causing slow transit time.

Even when I eat enough bulk and stimulate my peristaltic, it still doesn't come out right.

The aloe vera and licorice are for the lining, correct? That, or it affects mucus? I forget, I will look into them again.

I'm also curious about what people think about a high fat/high protein diet as far as digestion goes. I feel like such a diet could be hard on it, even though carbs (grains and legums especially) get a bad rap.

I really hope as many as possible chime in.

Thank you tho, Girlie!

I was hoping you'd respond, Georgia Hunter.

Though, I'll be honest, it's kind of bittersweet when you do. When you come around, not only do you often provide information that does end up applying to my situation, shedding light on certain things, but at the same time it's often the worst of news!

I'm afraid to look. lol

Thank you!

I was hoping for more responses, but oh well. I'll try.
