I tell ya, S T R E S S is the main trigger and the Herpes six viruses (chicken pox..etc..) are the cause of MS. Wait and see!!  
Is MS even an Autoimmune disease??  |
Ya know, SallyC, I'm in agreement. My enzyme levels are low but still within normal range.
Some of the correlation that I was refering to (in athletic folks-both with & without MS or auto-immune response) is that enzyme loss, especially Pancreatic enzyme, mimics Pancreatic cancer.
Missing or low enzymes in Pancreatic or pre-Pancreatic cancer can cause, among other things...fat to be left unbroken down in stool...causing it to "float." Gluten intolerance can also cause this (sorry, a lil gross); and both causes can also be from the body shutting down production of the enzymes in question. Much the way that the stomach can stop producing stomach enzymes when irritated or when ulcerations are present.
