Welcome to EmpowHER. Who are "they"? I suggest you speak with the person or individuals who recommended that you take an enzyme. By definition, an enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction. Possibly, it was suggested that you take a digestive enzyme, which facilitates the chemical breakdown of food into smaller, absorbable components.
Why was your gallbladder removed?
What did the gastroenterologist say to you when it was discovered that you still had food in your stomach despite fasting? Was the endoscopy rescheduled? Did you speak with the gastroenterologist about your symptoms of inability to digest food, stomach cramping and feeling bloated?
Do you mean Phenergan?
Phenergan (promethazine) belongs to a group of drugs called phenothiazines. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in your brain. Promethazine also acts as an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body.
Phenergan is used to treat allergy symptoms such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, hives, and itchy skin rashes.
Phenergan also prevents motion sickness, and treats nausea and vomiting or pain after surgery. It is also used as a sedative or sleep aid.
It will do nothing to improve a problem with digestion.
Your physician is your best resource for the answers to your questions.
