Dr. TobiasDigestive Enzymes with Amylase, Bromelain, Lipase, Lactase, Protease, Papain & More, Digestion Supplement with 18 Enzymes for Digestion and Gut Health, 60 Capsules, 30 Servings

After reading a couple of reviews of people who suffered from the same medical issues as I and praised these pills I thought that I would give it a shot especially for the sale price of about $14 for 60 pills. I have always had IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) since I was a little kid (now 67) and other stomach problems. I always joked with my parents about maybe being born into a defective gene pool. Anyhow a couple years ago suffered from galls tones and after four trips to the emergency room, finally had the sucker removed, stones, and gall bladder. However at that time x-rays revealed also that my intestines were impacted and not functioning correctly to process and digest food. I have had a recent colonoscopy and endoscopy to rule any illnesses out. Since then the stomach problems have increased and the doctors are not sure what to do. One doctor, my primary suggested that he thought I had Crohn's disease. Anyhow in the last month or so things got worse, with no appetite and afraid to eat anything besides. I could go three or four days and not feel the least bit hungry. Also unable to go number #2, constant constipation even with taking daily doses of Metamucil. Along with that came bloating, extended stomach, nausea and acid reflux because stomach acid had no where to go but up, especially at bedtime. I never got hunger pains and never had flatulence which is not normal. If I had a small hamburger or sandwich it felt like I ate two thanksgiving dinners. People ate more in one day than I did in a week. So a couple weeks ago as things got worse I called the doctor and can't get in until June 1st, a whole month away, being told by the doctors office if things get worse go to the emergency room. So I said I will try to fix myself as crazy as that sounds. I would advocate for myself since the doctors didn't know what was wrong. So hearing about Probiotics I thought I would try them first.. I took probiotic capsules for a few days and maybe noticed a slight improvement maybe. I knew about enzymes since the doctors explained them to me and what they do when I was in the hospital, so I looked them up to see if they were offered on my favorite place Amazon and found these capsules from Dr. Tobias, who ever he is. Anyhow I ordered them and received them in fast Amazon fashion and started taking them twice a day, one in the morning and one at supper time. Now call me crazy or it's one heck of a coincidence and or miracle, but only after two days, my bloating went away, my bathroom visits became normal, I had a sense of appetite. I no longer had nausea, the acid reflux went away, and basically I felt normal again. I was hungry again, had no bloating and could eat a regular meal and not feel stuffed. I am now into my fourth or fifth day of taking these and feel fine. I don't know what else to say other than I must assume that the enzymes work really well in the digestive tract and get everything back online. I feel great, and that's all I can say. In fact thinking about cancelling the doctors appointment since all they will do is take more xrays etc. Worked for me.....or it's a miracle!!

I have been taking these enzymes with meals for years. Last week, I was feeling very bloated and uncomfortable after eating out. I popped one of them and within 15 minutes I felt so much better. I had not used them for this purpose before, just took them with meals to aid in digestion. I knew I liked them, now I love them!

This is a very effective enzyme formula, meaning that it is very powerful. If you don’t eat enough when you take this pill it will give you massive stomach discomfort for the rest of the day. This is in my experience of course. I have to eat a normal large meal like dinner for example, to benefit from the enzymes without necessarily giving me stomach discomfort and or cramps. Take the pill 10 minutes before you eat a normal meal and you should be OK. If you are having digestive issues and or have had your gallbladder removed, it is highly recommended that you take digestive enzymes like these when you eat, especially the biggest meal of the day as these enzymes are very powerful. These definitely work really well and you can feel them working. Try them and see how they work for you. If you’re a big steak and potatoes type of person, these are perfect. If you just snack small meals during the day I would think these would be too powerful for you and maybe you benefit more from a less powerful formulation of enzymes. You will only know what’s best for you if you try these and see how your body responds to this powerful formula.

Great product

I purchased this product under the theory that taking digestive enzymes would allow me greater utilization of constituent amino acids in protein, glucose in carbohydrates, and fatty acids in fats. I first tested the pills effectiveness by filling three bowls with vinegar, which has a similar ph to stomach acid, and placed a chunk of meat with fat on it and a piece of celery into each bowl to test the breakdown of each main macronutrient. In one bowl, I put only vinegar, into the second bowl, I put one capsule, and in the third bowl, I put two capsules. At the end of the day, i was able to see that while all three bowls showed signs of degradation to the food, the bowls with the digestive enzymes showed slightly more breakdown of the food. Furthermore, the bowl with two capsules showed a breakdown almost double that of the bowl with only one. During the week, I proceeded to take the enzymes with everything I ate and drank including snacks and coffee. After the first two weeks, it is difficult to say whether I experienced any benefit. To be transparent, I don't suffer from gastrointestinal problems, but rather from headache and brain fog after I eat most foods. I will keep testing them thanks to Dr. Tobia's generous free bottle however

I tried the digestive enzymes for the first time about two weeks ago. I had been having severe digestion issues that had been getting worse and worse. Some of it was due to antibiotics just throwing me out of whack, some was from traveling and I never got evened out. Worse yet, I was exhausted. I wasn't digesting my food. My appetite was completely messed up. I had heartburn, constipation and diarrhea when I would finally go (sorry for the tmi). Add to it bloating and gas... I was a mess. Two weeks later, and I feel sooo much better. I've started taking a pro-biotic too, but I didn't add it til a week ago. With just one week of just this product, I was just thrilled with the results. I also have noticed that I can eat dairy with no effects if I take this first. I take it right before I eat. Just one capsule has been enough. I was also reading about how this helps with autism spectrum symptoms. I am on the spectrum, and have noticed some symptoms aren't quite as bad... Not sure how or why. My restless leg is better, my eye contact is a bit better and feeling a little more grounded than I normally do. In short, I am gratefully hooked. This stuff has really made a huge impact on my health and well-being. Thank you so much for making it!
