I have been using Enteromend with one of my most difficult digestion patients and the formula seems very effective. How does this work from a TCM perspective?
First, food products with enzymatic activity have been widely used in Chinese food therapy. Second, Enteromend treats food stagnation and enters the stomach, spleen, small and large intestines. There is a complete monograph on the formula in our Clinical Handbook which is also posted on our website www.healthconcerns.com.
How long is the course of treatment?
If you are looking for symptomatic improvement, one or more bottles. If you are looking to heal the intestines, take Enteromend for at least three months. For intestinal inflammation, this formula is best taken on an empty stomach.
How can children best utilize this formula?
The capsules maybe opened and emptied into room temperature water. Typical dosage is 1/2 to one capsule per day, although more can be taken if necessary.
What is the highest dosage that can be used?
We typically recommend one to two capsules before meals. Additional doses can be taken between meals to heal inflammation, or for symptom relief.
Is Enteromend enterically coated?
The ingredients work across a broad pH range and have been shown to survive gastric juices. For these reasons, it does not need to be enterically coated.
If my client has a food allergy with chronic constipation, would you still use Enteromend?
I would use Enteromend before eating and I would use Aloe 22 between meals for chronic constipation.
Can Enteromend be used as a digestive aid?
Yes. What is different about Enteromend is that it increases specific brush border enzymes that are involved in digesting gluten fragments and other allergic substances. Enteromend, by reducing inflammation, is also involved in intestinal healing and repair.
Enteromend treats gluten and dairy intolerance. Does it address soy allergy, and bean intolerance?
Yes.
I know that the formula is 100 percent vegetarian. Does it contain sugar?
No sugar is contained in the formula. For a list of ingredients, see the monograph posted on our website.
I have a client who is highly reactive to multiple foods. She has experienced migraines from food reactions for over twenty years. Would Enteromend be appropriate?
Yes. It may be best to experiment to see if she obtains better results using this formula before meals, between meals, or a combination.
Most of my clients have done well on the formula, however one client said it didn’t work.
I would first make sure that your client is taking an adequate dose. To my chagrin, I have heard that one capsule works great before eating a little bit of ice cream, whereas multiple capsules are required to digest a pint of ice cream. I really can’t endorse eating ice cream unless it is for special occasions. For some clients, emptying the capsules in room temperature water may improve efficacy, others may need to increase the dosage to two capsules.
