Hi:

Can you please tell me if digestive enzymes are safe to take prior to and during pregnancy? I am currently taking an over-the-counter disgestive enzyme called Ultra-Zyme manufactured by Nature's Plus. I started on this enzyme about six months ago and it has certainly calmed down my otherwise erratic (to put it mildly) digestive system. I would like to know if I should stop the enzyme at this time because I am going to start trying to conceive very shortly. I have asked the company who will give no information. I tried the teratology society and there is no info on that site. I am scheduled to see a new OB in a few weeks, because I recently moved to a new town, so I if I can find out whatever I can here, I would appreciate it.

Some of the ingredients include:

Amylase; Protease; Lipase; Glutamic Acid; Acidophilus; Ox Bile; Bromelain; Pepsin; Papain; Malt Diastase; Cellulase; Hemicullulase and Lactase.

Thank you in advance.
