After talking to a couple of other doctors, my understanding is that these meds are supposed to support the metabolizing of proteins. I would certainly prefer a more natural and alternative means, e.g. the enzyme concept, but it seems impossible to get the doctors to think in this manner. Once she is home and we have more access to alternative options I am sure we will move in that direction but with her still in a hospital/rehab setting, and with me in another state, the situation is very difficult to influence.
Thanks!
