Enzymes mainly refer to digestive enzymes, and the common causes of digestive enzyme deficiency are physiologic decrease, chronic gastroenteritis, chronic pancreatitis, etc. Its deficiency can be supplemented by general treatment and medication according to the specific causes.
1. Physiological reduction: with age, digestive function decreases, digestive enzyme secretion decreases, you can eat more protein-rich foods to supplement, you can also take enzyme preparations (such as pepsin, multi-enzyme tablets).
2. Chronic gastroenteritis: When gastroenteritis decreases gastrointestinal function, digestive enzymes are synthesized and secreted less, antibiotics (such as norfloxacin), gastrointestinal mucosal protection drugs (such as glutamine), probiotics (such as bifidobacteria), etc. can be taken to address the cause of the disease, which will lead to an increase in digestive enzymes.
3. Chronic pancreatitis: pancreatitis can lead to a decrease in digestive enzymes, which can be supplemented by taking compound digestive enzymes, pancreatic enzymes enteric-coated tablets, etc., and eliminating the underlying causes of the disease, avoiding a high-fat, high-protein diet, and quitting smoking and drinking.
When supplementing digestive enzymes, the cause of the disease should be clarified and standardized treatment should be carried out under the guidance of doctors to avoid delaying the disease. In addition, the drugs mentioned above should also be used under the guidance of a doctor.
