Enzymes test

[kallik]

Is there a test to take to see if you are deficient in enzymes? If there is please let me know. I'd be curious to see if my son is deficient because I don't think he digests his food well. Thanks.

kallik,

 

Here are 3 labs which all offer tests that will give you some info. regarding digestion. I can't say that they will exactly tell you what enzymes your son might be deficient in (I'm looking at the comprehensive stool tests). Maybe someone else has a suggestion on a different type of testing, but these were the ones that came to mind.
