good digestive enzymes as part of "leaky gut" treatment
I have been taking these impressive broad spectrum digestive enzymes as part of an overall plan to try to heal some serious gastrointestinal problems I have that include maldigestion and malabsorption. The Doctor's Best enzymes have one of the widest spectrum profiles with powerful amounts of each enzyme (the numbers and letters after each enzyme on the label). I think in my particular case, I am dealing with an overall disorder that has progressed to intestinal hyperpermeability, or "leaky gut" syndrome. This happens when the enterocytes lose the strength of the tight junctions that normally keep intestinal contents, food, bacteria, and immune complexes, out of the systemic circulation, which leads to overwhelming systemic inflammation and often food hypersensitivities that have to be dealt with. I began treating myself with strong probiotics (I recommend Hyperbiotics PRO-15 regular or Advanced strength) and these broad spectrum digestive enzymes (used one capsule after every meal or snack) to try to heal the dysbiosis and maldigestion, which are both a cause and an effect of this type of problem. My symptoms started out with mild but rapidly progressing acid reflux, which I realized were the result of low stomach acid not digesting my food (Google GERD and low stomach acid) so I added Betaine Hcl with pepsin (NOW) to replace stomach acidity and provide extra help digesting protein, and Gluten Digest (NOW), a specialized digestive enzyme that helps digest the problem proteins gluten and dairy contain. I take all three forms of enzymes after every meal or snack, and it has really made a huge difference in both my digestion and my GI tract, as well as my acid reflux all but resolving.I also used D-limonene (Jarrow) to help completely resolve the acid reflux and wean myself off prilosec and acid reducers for good. I then added licorice root (Nature's Way), aloe vera (NOW), and slippery elm (NOW) as coating and soothing supplements to allow my GI tract to heal, and these also further help with the reflux and digestion as the inflammation is reduced. I added L-glutamine (Jarrow) which directly coats the enterocytes and nourishes them to heal the tight junctions to begin to resolve the " leaky gut". I am going through and listing all of this in case it helps someone else who has more severe problems than probiotics and digestive enzymes alone can resolve, to give you suggestions and hope.All the suggestions I have made are useful for almost any problem with acid reflux, heartburn, GERD, IBS, or any other more serious GI problem, such as Celiac disease or Chrohn's or Ulcerative Colitis, or others with "leaky gut", which is often also linked to autoimmune disease (I have Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis). Try good probiotics like Hyperbiotics "perfect probiotic" PRO-15 time release pearls, and good broad spectrum digestive enzymes like these by Dr's Best first, and then if that isn't enough, research and consider some of the other supplements I have been using with good success. The more complex your problem, the less likely unfortunately it will be that one or two things alone will be enough, so don't give up on the digestive enzymes as they are some of the most important supplements for any GI disease, along with the probiotics. Any GI disorder, structural or functional, is affecting your digestion and absorption of nutrients, and keeping you from being healthy no matter what you eat, and good strong broad spectrum supplemental digestive enzymes are the cure for that. Even though it takes many months to heal intestinal hyperpermeability, during which time I personally intend to continue to take all of the supplements I mentioned, I think anyone with any kind of GI issue should take good probiotics and digestive enzymes, and consider Betaine Hcl. HIghly recommend these enzymes and taking some form of digestive enzymes for the long term. I plan to always take a Hyperbiotics probiotic and a good digestive enzyme, even once I am healthy again. I may try different digestive enzymes by NOW, digestive ultimate or platinum, only because they have several more digestive enzymes and higher potency, than even these by Dr.;s Best, but they are a little more expensive. Highly recommend!!

You will NOT be disappointed!!
I had been having stomach issues for years and years and constant bloating. I would retain all my water in my mid section and thought it was a lost cause. Every time I would eat, I would get so big. To the point where if I was going out, I would barely eat, because my outfit wouldn't fit right. I would rarely go to the bathroom, even stool softeners, laxatives, you name it....it didn't work.I ended up getting a colonic and spoke with the person who administered this and she gave me some very helpful tips...1- Do NOT drink water within 30 minutes of eating (before or after you eat)2- Completely STOP chewing gum (it makes you swallow air)3- Digestive EnzymesNow, it's okay to have a sip of water to take mediation, etc. but do not drink a lo with food as it dilutes the natural digesting enzymes in your stomach. I did a lot of research and found Doctor's Best to have one of the largest variety of enzymes, and highest potency. Since I was having severe issues, I thought what d oI have to lose? I take 1-3 pills depending on what or how much I ate, with every meal, and follow the other guidelines diligently, and my bloating is gone!!! Everyone of my friends have noticed, my clothes fit better, pants are too big on me now! I couldn't be happier that I found these, and if you are having digestive issues, i URGE you to give this a shot!!!

Happy tummy
Loving this product for tummy issues from having my gall bladder removed. Keep handy so you remember to take them because consistency is key. Digestion is so much better, they look large but are easy to swallow and have no after taste.

Works pretty good
It works most of the time, so I will not complain. Take with my heaviest meals and it helps to not feel so bloated.

Trustworthy Vitamin Product
I take these to help with digestion due to my weak gall bladder function. I investigated and found a clinical review of this product. Testing did show that the product DOES contain the ingredients as listed on the label.

Hard to swallow
I’m returning this enzyme because it keeps getting stuck in my esophagus. I’m not sure why because I don’t have that problem with any other pills. When I first started taking it I did notice my stomach felt better and I wasn’t near as bloated so as far as that goes I believe it works just wish I could get it all the way down. Because of it getting stuck I have a pain in my chest where I could feel it in my throat and it dissolved. I hate to return it but I also don’t like it getting stuck. Hope it works for others.
