Most people today have some kind of digestive problem would't inhibiting enzymes increase those problems and inhibit vitamin and nutrient absorbtion from food ?

We believe that you are only has healthy as your gut. Digestive enzymes play a critical role in optimal health. However, if you are overweight or obese, losing weight takes priority. Blocking absorption of sugar calories is an important step for many to experience successful weight loss. Supplementing with enzymes while taking sugar blockers will hamper your efforts. We suggest focusing on weight loss first and discontinuing digestive enzyme in the short-term.

I have Chrohn's disease and vitamin defficiencies because my food is not digested do to lack of enzymes . Not taking them could land me in the hospital. Many people today suffer from Colitus and Chrohn's this could be dangerous for them.

You are absolutely right. No one, regardless of any diagnosis, should start a weight loss program without speaking with their doctor first. People with mal-absorption syndromes need to supplement with digestive enzymes. Losing weight with Chrohn's disease requires the careful watch of your doctor. You might consider focusing more on exercise and supplementing with nutrients that support a healthy metabolism in order to lose weight. But please, speak with your doctor about your options.

@LifeExtensionVideos I disagree with you must ask with your doctor before any diet. Reality is that everybody is on a diet since everybody eats. I am an advocate of carb restricted diets and you dont need to talk with your doctor to cut your carb. Why if most doctors dont know about nutrition?
