i personally do not like to mix things if using digestive enzymes use that separately but i am not big on digestive enzymes as the pancreas is designed to do this and there are alot of debate over this some believe it is no issue with pancreas and some believe it is so you have to make that call but I like to use probiotics as a separate supplement not mixed in with a digestive enzyme for the reasons below. Also keep in mind ibd and pancreatitis go hand in hand especially if ibd is in small intestines which is close to pancreas as it can trigger pancreatitis
Probiotics should be given prior to food 20-30 minutes to coat the intestines with good bacteria to create a healthy environment before food is introduced and if on antibiotics you give antibiotic and then 2 hrs later probiotic to put good bacteria back into the system since the antibiotic killed all good and bad bacteria.
Digestive enzymes should be added to non raw diets to help digest food so it is added on the food but if feeding raw you do not need to add in a digestive enzyme as it has natural enzymes that are cooked out in kibble and cooked diets but i still am skeptical about it myself as the body is designed to function to digest food so unless a situation where pancreas is not working properly in digesting food I am still skeptical about this supplement myself
the two above do two different things so should be done seperately if you choose to use them
