Hi
Digestive enzymes help in processing protein rich meal in the stomach and intestine for further absorption.
When high amount of protein diet is taken or when there is an enzyme deficiency,undigested food accumulates in the intestine causing bloating and abdominal pain.
Digestive enzyme supplement containing protease will ensure digestion of your high protein meals.
Divide your protein diet into smaller portions and also take a moderate amount of fibre. Adequately hydrate with water and juice.
Anti-foaming agents like Simethicone can be used thrice a day to reduce the bloating symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
