Hi Sandra,
I was just wondering if your blood type is A. According to the book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, by Peter D'Adamo,ND, that blood type has a very hard time not only digesting meat but then a type of allergic reaction happens to most meats that causes inflammation with all its implications.
I'm an A blood type and I have a terrible time digesting meat, so I use an Egg White Protein powder by Jay Robb. Then I use digestive enzymes to help break that down into amino acids. Sounds like a good approach by your docs to get you some liquid amino acids. My dad used to take the one made by Twin Labs, orange flavored. Didn't they recommend you should take pro-biotics, they actually help you make some of the B vitamins internally. And the pro-biotics are an absolute necessity when dealing with candida, or any fungal overgrowth. And of course B-12 shots are the medical route, but they do have B-12 supplements that you can take under the tongue, I use a liquid form.
So I guess the bottom line is, do you really want to be eating all that meat? especially if it's not organic? If you're going to eat meat then you might need a digestive support formula with HcL like the Food Enzymes formula from Nature's Sunshine.
Just some thoughts based on my own experience,
Joanne
