2 reasons for undigested food in the stool...not chewing enough...and lack of sufficient digestive enzymes or stomach acid...or both. Both of these are very common...make sure to chew your food really well and supplement with digestive enzymes. Also include more raw foods and fresh juices in your diet...both contain lots of enzymes...which are destroyed by heat. To determine if you need additional stomach acid...which is essential for digestion and also signals the release of pancreatic enzymes...try betaine HCL. If well tolerated then you could benefit from the additional acid...if you experience a burning sensation then just stick with a digestive enzyme formula that does not contain HCL.

Undigested food means that you are not getting all the nutrients from your food and also means that your digestive system is having to work much harder than it should. Many people experience a boost in their energy level when they use digestive enzymes on a regular basis. Undigested food particles are also more likely to trigger food allergies and sensitivities and can create problems with gas.
