Enzymedica Digest Spectrum - Digestive Enzyme Supplement for Women & Men, Enzymes for Digestion, Gut Health, & Multiple Food Intolerances, Targets Gluten & Lactose, Helps Gas & Bloating - 90 Caps

I am posting this review in several places, for each product mentioned in this review, in hopes that it will reach the people that may be able to benefit from what I have found has helped me. I decided to post what has been key for me in recovering my digestive health after 5 years of exposure to black mold in an office I was in, and 3 years of treatment to detox the toxins that were circulating through my system under Richie Shoemaker's 7 step protocol for the treatment of mold illness: Enzymes. First, I realized that I had to have Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, SIBO. I have the symptoms. So I researched what to do about that and found an nih study that showed that two herbal protocols are as effective if not more effective than the standard extremely expensive antibiotic protocol for the treatment of SIBO. I put myself on one of them, FC Cidal and Dysbiocide, 2 caps twice a day of each. Immediate improvement in my digestion. However, SIBO almost always comes back after the treatment, usually within 30 days. Why? Along the way of figuring out what to do about the SIBO, I started taking pancreatic enzymes. I had a test that showed I was low on pancreatic enzymes, even though I was taking them at the time. Why? Then I got a recommendation from my Health Coach, who uses a Life Biofeedback machine for energy balancing, that I should take Cholacol. Cholacol is gallbladder bile supplement. It is given to people who have had their gallbladder removed. So, Why? again, in that I have not had my gallbladder removed, but needed the supplement. More on that in a minute. It is not enough for me to just feel better, I have to know why. I will not rest until I figure out the answers. I found such improvement after starting the pancreatic enzymes and the Cholacol that I started taking Enzymedica Digest Spectrum. More improvement. So then I started researching enzymes in general. I found a book called Enzymes: Go with Your Gut by Karen DeFelice. In it she describes a protocol for taking 10 capsules per day of Enzymedica Extra Strength Enzyme Defense for 30 days to eliminate hidden viruses. I know that I have herpes simplex Type A, and would love to get rid of it, so I figured, What the heck, may as well give the protocol a try and see what happens. I started it two weeks ago. The stuff is awesome. Within 24 hours I was able to start eating things I had not been able to eat in literally years, am sleeping better, pain is almost non-existent. Also, two of my employees are out with a nasty virus, but although I also have the virus that has flattened both of them, I am not sick. I realized when I found out that they were sick that I have that virus, but for me I almost didn't realize that I had it because it has been so mild, just a runny nose for three days, and a slightly enlarged and tender lymph node under my jaw that cleared up in two days. They are both much younger than me (I am 65) and very sick. I'm not. So back to the puzzles of why SIBO comes back, and why I would need pancreatic enzyme supplements, and supplements of gallbladder bile when I haven't had my gallbladder out. This thought process took me several months this last year. I realized that the pancreas was not getting enzymes into my digestive tract and bile was not getting from the gallbladder to the digestive tract, so, therefore, it was likely that I had something blocking the flow of those products to the small intestine. I also figured out that the reason SIBO comes back is because the bile from the gallbladder controls the growth of bacteria in the small intestine, so without enough bile from the gallbladder, you can treat the SIBO, but it will come back because the bacteria will just grow back again because there isn't enough bile to control it. So finally I scoped out the connections between the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and small intestine, and discovered that stones are produced in the liver, then move to the gallbladder and the pancreas through the common ducts that connect those three organs, and the common duct that allows the pancreatic enzymes and bile from the gallbladder into the small intestine. I also had a dull ache, sometimes sharper, especially if I ate anything with sugar, carbohydrates (which convert to sugar) or fat, in the lower right quadrant of my back. Those are all symptoms, I found out, of gallstones. The allopathic response to gallstones is to yank out the gallbladder. Um, I don't think so. So I researched how to get rid of the stones that had to be blocking all those ducts through which the pancreatic enzymes and gallbladder bile should be flowing into the small intestine. I found Stone Free, and started taking that. That was also a huge help. Within 24 hours the ache in my gallbladder had eased substantially. Now I still have a very light pressure from my gallbladder, which I don't notice unless I think about it. Most people from middle age on will have stones in the gallbladder and that also block those common ducts that enable the bile and pancreatic enzymes to get to the small intestine. So most folks need to get cleaned out. Stone Free will do it. So for me, it has been the combo of several things. 1. Several different types of Probiotics including Hyperbiotics Pro-15, Perfect Pass and Culturelle. 2. Pancreatic enzymes and Cholacol. 3. FC Cidal and Dysbiocide to eliminate the SIBO. I am in the middle of my third course of it, and both I and my Health Coach dowse that I should continue to stay on it for now, so that tells me that the blockages are still present preventing enough bile from the gallbladder getting into the small intestine, that and the still present light pressure from the gallbladder. 4. Stone Free to eliminate the blockages for enzymes to get to the small intestine, supplementing with the pancreatic enzymes and Cholacol until I get everything flowing the way it should. 5. Enzymedica Digest Spectrum 2 caps taken with each meal. 6. Finally, the addition of the protocol of the Enzymedica Extra Strength Enzyme Defense, 5 caps twice a day on an empty stomach, for 30 days. Actually, I will probably stay on it for longer than that, but I will see what both my own dowsing and the Life Biofeedback machine have to say about that when I reach the end of the 30 days. This what has finally allowed me to eat like a more or less normal human being. I still can't eat dairy products, but am otherwise eating pretty much what I want. Life is good. Hope that will be true for others that may read this post. All of the products and the book mentioned here are available from and have been purchased from Amazon.

This is an overall great product!! I have an allergy to gluten and intolerance to dairy. I take this when I am at a restaurant and don't know if there is gluten or dairy in a meal. I also take this at home when I know there is dairy. It does not reverse the effects of an allergy, but it definitely reduces the symptoms! I believe this is made for intolerances and reducing the effects of allergies (not eliminating). I love that it is made with clean ingredients, and there are no extra flavors or additives. I generally take 1 or 2, depending on how much allergy-food I assume may be in a meal. Sometimes, I will also take one of these with one dairy-intolerance supplement. They are very EASY to swallow. It is a soft capsule and not very big. It does not eliminate ALL symptoms, but it definitely decreases them. Personally, it decreases nausea, stomachache, and nighttime acid reflux. Basically, all of the painful stomach issues are gone! (If I accidentally eat a large amount of gluten, since it's an allergy, I still have some stomach pain, but not as much.) It only decreases some bloating, but I still have that issue. I also still feel tired after eating dairy, even when taking this. I do wish there was a little more lactase to help with some of the lingering symptoms. I buy ONLY this product, now. I also used to buy the individual lactase pills, but now I only purchase this because it works so much better overall. It is extra expensive, which is one downside. However, since it works so well, it is worth the value to me. The bottle and cap work well to get out the capsules. I like the look of the bottle, as well. I debated giving this product a 4 since it does not cover ALL symptoms, but I think it deserves a 5-star because of EVERYTHING else that it does. I DO recommend this product to anyone with a food intolerance or allergy who wants to be extra safe when eating out or eating uncertain foods.

This is such a great product. I’ve gone through several bottles already. When I started having digestive issues with onions and garlic, I was constantly seeing ads for other enzyme supplements that were really expensive. I ended up finding this one, decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint. You take it with your meals, and it really helps with a variety of foods. I love that it contains different enzymes to support different intolerances, so it feels more complete than other options I looked at. It’s been a reliable and much more affordable solution for me. It’s very easy to carry anywhere with you in a pill carrier, and be able to take it fast and easy.

This work great if you have sensitives and just need a little extra help processing your food. I take them before eating fibrous foods, wheat, and dairy. Helps limit the size of my bloat and associated cramping.

These work. They simply work. I have a dairy allergy plus Celiac and through a series of unfortunate events found myself having eaten both for several days.. .I was miserable and barely able to function and ordered these out of hopeful desperation - they worked!!! Within an hour of cautiously taking one I felt energized enough to do my dishes and an hour later to cover my plants for the coming freeze.. .I took a second one before bed and woke up to a better functioning system 🪠 and pretty energetic! I am over the moon that I won't continue to be trapped feeling sick all over day after day from what happened until my body decides it's done. Thank you Amazon for bringing these to my door within a few hours of ordering. Will take one with each meal until I regain my health fully!

I bought this product because it had all the ingredients i used to get from another brand that is not available in the USA but unfortunately it is not as powerful as the brand i used to take, no clue why! The good thing is that at least it did not upset my stomach. It is smoothly digested. I have a very sensitive stomach with bad absorption of food. The main brand i used to take was really solving all these issues and help my body gets all the nutrients from the food i eat, it shows through my overall health, my energy, how my nails grow faster, my skin glows, my hair etc I really wished this product acted the same but for some reason it didn't work for me. UPDATE: I got a message from the seller offering me a refund for this product as it did not work for me as i mentioned in my comment, which was very professional from their side and made me change the rating to 5 stars because i appreciated how they value their customers feedback. I refused the refund though as i already used the digestive pills. I might continue taking the capsules until i finish the bottle i got maybe by then i can see some better results. As i mentioned my case is different because i have a super sensitive stomach. Lets see. Update (2)-- I finished the whole bottle of 30 counts and my final verdict is: this product helps ease the digestion process, it gives you a quick feeling of comfort, instead of that nagging discomfort after a small meal as if you just swallowed an elephant that stayed there refusing to pass :)) It helped me a lot with late night meals; i usually don't eat after 7 p.m. but some days i come back from work very late i end up having my dinner by 10 p.m. then.i can't sleep until 4 a.m.!! So taking the pill before my late night meal helped a lot. Another important advice, you must not rely on these pills alone to solve all your digestion issues. I noticed some reviews mentioned that it is better to take 2 pills, which i personally found unnecessary. You must strengthen your stomach as a first defense strategy by taking good probiotics for short term, eating food high in fibers, avoiding fried meals, vegetable oils except olive oil, drink herbal teas, take kefir one hour before bed and so on. Your pancreas gets sensitive over time as you eat unhealthy food. A serious change in your diet lifestyle will restore the pancreas and enhance your digestion. Two weeks ago, i did exactly this along with the pill only at late night dinner and it helped a lot. Bottom line is: do not take these pills forever otherwise your stomach will reply on them and loses its natural functionality.

Este mensaje es de mi amiga a la cual le compre estas enzimas para su hijo con AUTISMO .( les dejo su testimonio) Hola! Les quiero comentar que ya voy en mi tercer frasco de Enzimas con mi hijo de 4 años con presuncion de autismo , el no habla y tenia mucho problemas de inflexibilidad ,junto con el de estreñimiento , disifucltad y llantos para hacer actividades en aula y taller tambien falta de concentracion., e hipotonia. Note que con las enzimas hubo una mejora global en todo ,mejoro la subida de escaleras , mejoro su estado de animo , lo noto mas contento y alegre durante el dia , mejor predispocion al momento de hacer la terapia y el taller . Hubo un espacio de tiempo entre el primer y segundo frasco que no le di enzimas y si note la diferencia . El cambio es notable .Actualmente a mi niño le estoy dando estas enzimas junto con el tratamiento del Dr Fadul y es excelente . Mi niño aun no habla pero , he notado todos esos cambios que no solo lo noto yo sino tambien sus abuelos y sus terapistas.Yo recomiendo mucho que intenten con las enzimas en sus niños.

Item was sealed and packaged great. I unfortunately cannot tolerate these. I had a mild allergic reaction which causes my throat to get very congested. I am sure they do benefit some but be aware it’s possible to be allergic.

مازلت استخدمه في البداية نشوف النتايج بعد استخدامه شهر او شهرين

With it I can eat without woring about my food allergies.

I found with continuous use it did help my acid reflux.

I have been a loyal customer to this brand using these enzymes for years now. Whilst I could accept some earlier price increases the present price hike stinks of opportunism! No amount of economic factors can justify the ridiculous price to which these have risen, and it feels like the company is taking advantage of those in medical need. I will now go all out to seek a suitable alternative, shame on Enzymedica.

A great product.
