My husband had issues the 2nd week after surgery (by eating something he shouldn't have) and he took some papaya enzyme and it helped quite a bit. Everything that I have read suggested it for issues with protein...I would be interested in seeing what people say...I haven't heard anything negative about it.

thanks ,,it helped me too ,but i read from 1 person it could cause problems with pouch ,,hoping that isn't true ,,and too wimpy to bother talk about it  until next app

I was told by my surgeon that it is a great thing to take if your pouch doesn't like a protein you just eat. I took it a few times a week right after post op.
