We have many people taking skinny fiber while breastfeeding. Its perfectly safe, yet I encourage you to still print off and take the label and ingredients list to your doctor if your not sure. It is a 100% natural product, but you MAY have an allergy to a plant that might not know about. Bring your Doctor the supplement facts: Ingredient Break Down Glucomannan - is a soluble, highly viscous fiber commonly derived from Amorphophallus konjac root. Glucomannan has no specific lactation-related uses. It is most often used to lower cholesterol, to treat constipation and diabetes, and is contained in products to promote weight loss. Since glucomannan is not absorbable, it will not reach the breastmilk and is very unlikely to affect the nursing infant. Caralluma Fimbirita - is a succulent plant (cactus) from India. Used to decrease appetite for weight loss. It is also used to quench thirst and to increase endurance. Ask doctor about taking while breast feeding, keep in mind the dose is small, bring supplement chart to your Doctor. Cha de Bugre - is a tree that is native to Brazil and can also be found in the tropical forests of Paraguay and Argentina.Cha de Bugre is a popular weight loss, treat cellulite, cough, fluid retention (edema), gout, cancer, herpes, viral infections, fever, and diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It is also used as a general tonic to improve blood circulation and heart function. Some people apply Cha de Bugre directly to the skin for wound healing. Ask doctor about taking while breastfeeding, keep in mind the dose is small, bring supplement chart to your Doctor. Amylase/ lipase/protease/cellulase - is the main polysaccharide-digesting enzyme. It is available in breast milk and in the pancreas after 6 months of age. Used to relieve symptoms of indigestion (eg, feeling of fullness, gas, bloating) and helps the body to digest protein, starch, and fat. Some medical conditions may interact with amylase. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. Glucoamylase (amyloglucosidase) - is a type of digestive enzyme that cleaves or breaks off a free glucose molecule from the complex sugar-based chains that form starch or from the simpler sugar, maltose. The glucose that is freed can then be used as a source of energy for the body instead of stored as fat. Glucoamylase helps to break down starch. Glucoamylase is often described separately from amylase because it digests starches in a particular way, removing free glucose molecules from the end of the starchy chains rather than simply breaking these longer chains simply into smaller chains. It is part of an extremely important group of enzymes that allow us to absorb nutrients and create energy from some of the most common plant foods that we eat. Glucoamylase is great for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Digestive Upset & Gastrointestinal Issues, Autoimmune Conditions, May Help Digestive Organs, Balance Blood Sugar and Reduce Food Allergies. Ask your Doctor to use while breastfeeding. Papain - is taken from the fruit of the papaya tree. Papain is used for pain and swelling (inflammation) as well as fluid retention following trauma and surgery. It is used as a digestive aid and for treating parasitic worms, inflammation of the throat and pharynx, shingles (herpes zoster) symptoms, ongoing diarrhea, hay fever, runny nose, and a skin condition called psoriasis. Papain is also used along with conventional treatments for tumors.Some people apply papain directly to the skin to treat infected wounds, sores, and ulcers. Ask your Doctor to use while breastfeeding. Bromelain - is an enzyme found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem. People use it for medicine. Bromelain is used for reducing swelling (inflammation), especially of the nose and sinuses, after surgery or injury. It is also used for hay fever, treating a bowel condition that includes swelling and ulcers (ulcerative colitis), removing dead and damaged tissue after a burn (debridement), preventing the collection of water in the lung (pulmonary edema), relaxing muscles, stimulating muscle contractions, slowing clotting, improving the absorption of antibiotics, preventing cancer, shortening labor, and helping the body get rid of fat. It is also used for preventing muscle soreness after intense exercise. This use has been studied, and the evidence suggests bromelain doesn’t work for this. Some people use a product (Phlogenzym) for arthritis (osteoarthritis) that combines bromelain with trypsin (a protein) and rutin (a substance found in buckwheat). Bromelain used in this way seems to reduce pain and improve knee function in people with arthritis. Ask your Doctor to use while breastfeeding.
