Asking for Self, Male, 29 years old, Lahore

Hi, I suffer from IBS with alternating constipation/diarrhea, intestinal inflammation and acidity. I am taking medications as directed by my doctor. To deal with my problems & improve digestion, can I take "Digestive Enzyme" capsule Supplement? Would it worsen my acidity or alleviate the symptoms?

Digestive enzyme capsules (to be taken with meals) contain powder of following: ** Bromelain, Lactase, Protease, Papain, Lipase, Invertase, Cellulase, and Amylase + Inulin Prebiotic ** Turmeric, Ginger, Green Papaya, Inulin, Apple Pectin, Bladderwrack, Fennel, and Wakame
