Average Reviews:

My mother in law was very sick and in the hospital for a long period of time and she got the cidif infection and she took all kinds of antibiotics and meds and could not get rid of it. so i did a little check on the web and it suggested natural items that work and so we went to the health food store and this is the item we came up with. Now 1 year later she has been admitted into the hospital and had emergency surgery on her bowels and they checked her and the infection is all gone.
we credit this to these capsules/
Thank you

Vitamin Shoppe - Multi-Enzyme Review

Vitamin Shoppe - Multi-Enzyme
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have come across a number of digestive enzyme products over the years, and am always looking for a potent product for a good price. Vitamin Shoppe's "Multi-Enzyme" formula is pretty potent and fairly priced.
Also, most enzyme products just give the weight of the enzymes and not the activity. This product label has both. The problem with just listing weight is that 1 mg of a 1,000 LU/g (LU=lipase units, a measure of lipase activity) lipase will not digest nearly as much fat as 1 mg of 120,000 LU/g lipase. So it is possible that a 100 mg enzyme formula can actually digest more food than a 500 mg one.
The strength of the enzymes in this formula is as follows:
Pepsin - 1:10,000 (this Pepsin can, in the lab, digest 10,000 times its weight in protein)
Amylase - 57,000 U/g
Lipase - 120,000 LU/g
Papain - 2,000 USP units/mg (not on label, but I asked them)
Protease - 200,000 HUT/g
Bromelain - 600 GDU/g
Cellulase - 20,000 FCC units/g
Take note that one serving is actually two tablets, and the amounts of enzymes listed in the ingredients list are for two tablets, not one. Overall, this is a good formula that is around half the price of Health Food Store enzymes, and is, in some cases, twice as powerful. I have used digestive enzymes for about three years now and the results have been better digestion and fewer digestive problems. The only drawback to this formula is that certain enzymes in the formula are not enteric coated to ensure survival of the enzymes in the acid environment of the stomach. However, newer research suggests enzymes inactivated in the stomach are often reactivated in the intestine.

This stuff taste great. I drink it like candy. Mix it in my mixed berry green tea. Who knew at 30 I'd be addictive to fiber. It doesn't give me the runs either. My mom thinks I might be overdosing on it. It fills me up like a weight loss product so I don't eat as much. I strongly recommend it.

Enzymedica - Digest Gold, 180 capsules Review

Enzymedica - Digest Gold, 180 capsules
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had digestive issues for years including very poor digestion, lack of appetite, low thyroid function, sluggish elimination and gall bladder/liver issues.
I have taken digestive enzymes in the past, including some that are very highly regarded with absolutely no improvement. I was reading some reviews of this product one day and thought, OK, let's give it a try. I bought the regular Digest at first as a trial and found them pretty effective.
That prompted me to buy the heavy hitter of the line, Digest Gold, which is much more expensive but worth it. I am losing weight and particularly belly fat now I'm apparently digesting my food instead of just storing it.
My research has revealed that undigested protein is believed to form tumors, and some alternative health practitioners suggest taking powerful digestive enzymes both with and between meals. It's believed that strong digestive enzymes will break up old, undigested protein.
This is a wonderful product. If you struggle with digestion, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Had skipped heart beats several times a day most days for about a year, very unnerving but not a serious medical issue. Heard about using Magnesium supplements to help this. Bought this at Costco on a whim and after first day they were virtually gone! Four days now and still good... crossing fingers. If so this would be close to a miracle vitamin and improve my life tremendously.

Benefiber Fiber Supplement, Plus B Vitamins & Folic Acid, Non-Thickening Powder, 6.4 Ounce Review

Benefiber Fiber Supplement, Plus B Vitamins and Folic Acid, Non-Thickening Powder, 6.4 Ounce
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Fast and simple: This is the best fiber supplement I have tried. It dissolves completely in either cold or hot drinks. There is no taste. It works!!!
In Depth: I am basically a meat eater with little, vegetable, fiber or fruit intake. I supplement vitamins and other things as best I can. However, fiber supplements never worked out for me. I hate it when they don't dissolve completely and I encounter solids in my drinks. I find this to be a big 'turn-off'. I am also sensitive to fiber. Too little and nothing happened. Too much and I'd get cramps, bowel irritation and even bleeding. Benefiber is the first fiber supplement that worked without irritating my system. I add it to my coffee, tea or cold drinks. It dissolves completely and it's tasteless. These are all important things to me.
Taking a fiber supplement, like many things, depends on whether you use it or not. Due to the many problems encountered with other supplements, I stopped using them rather quickly. Being as I didn't encounter above mentioned problems, after initially trying Benefiber, I have continued to use benefiber with great results. I did experiment to determine how much benefiber to take each day. Being sensitive to fiber, I don't take as much as Benefiber recommends. However, I found I had much greater 'leeway' before having problems and I found that for me Benefiber works quite well at the lower recommended amount that I use each day.
If you need to supplement your fiber intake, try Benefiber.

I think it kills competing pathogenic organisms in your intestines. don't ask me how on earth this is possible, since the capsules are not "enteric coated" and all the little bugs ought to die in your stomach acid. But it works. I have very specific symptoms that are totally ammhiliorated (however you spell that) by this wonderful stuff.

Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls Review

Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update to original review from 9/20/08:
We are continuing taking the pearls daily and they are still working beautifully. The company advertises them as a way to control constipation, but they work well for us for control of diarrhea. I have accidentally forgotten to take them a couple of times now and had my symptoms come right back. These things are worth their weight in gold.
During a recent MRI, a serious sinus infection was found & I had to take HUGE doses of antibiotics for 10 days. I did not get any secondary infections this time, either.
I had such a miraculous recovery from all my gastro problems that my doctor asked me to get some for him & he's been amazed by them, as well. He dislikes prescribing lomotil & wouldn't take anti-diarrheals himself. He told me the last time that I saw him that he's had similar results for whatever his problems were (too much information, I didn't want to know, lol).
Original review:
I have spent years battling with doctors over what 'disease' I have..Crohn's/IBS/Celiac?? I suffered greatly for over 25 years with raging bouts of cramps & diarrhea. If I took Lomotil or Immodium, they would either not work or cause constipation & even more bloating and gas.
5 months ago I went on a modified version of the Metabolic Syndrome Diet and started an exercise regimen, (I have lost over 50 lbs so far), but whole grains seemed to aggravate me even more. I experienced horrible bloating, sporadic diarrhea & a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen. My GP suggested going on Atkins, but I tried that in the 90's and hated it. I don't eat a LOT of carbs, but I wasn't about to give them up altogether!
I can't eat sugar or milk, so most of the plethora of probiotic products on the market were off-limits, so I decided to try acidophilus. I tried the regular acidophilus tablets and they did not help at all.
I saw these on a gold box special and thought that they made sense. It's only logical that stomach acids would alter the bacteria if eaten in yogurt or cheese (my hubby ate those stupid 'activ' cheeses for 21 days straight with NO benefit at all).
After starting the pearls, my entire digestive system seemed to have miraculously returned to what it was in my teens within days. No gas, no bloating, no diarrhea or constipation (from immodium or lomotil, which I no longer have to take). Now I know what 'regular' means..it's wild!
I always got diarrhea, yeast AND bladder infections from antibiotics. The last round of Cipro I took for a badly infected cut did NOT cause me any problems at all, it had to be because of the probiotics. I used to keep Monostat and Sulfa on hand at all times because of the secondary infections I couldn't avoid. No more!
My husband had digestive problems, as well, and the pearls have caused vast improvement for him, too. The doctor hadn't been able to diagnose what was causing his varying diarrhea/constipation bouts, but they're gone & the doctor let him cancel the $1500.00 colonoscopy he had scheduled (bad insurance). Quite a savings!
I will not be without these Acidophilus Pearls ever again if I can help it! After so many years of suffering, I'm simply flabbergasted that something this simple (& cheap) would solve both our problems so quickly. We found that it took about a week for optimal results.
GET them, they're worth a try & they certainly can't hurt you!

Peppermint Gels By Now Foods - 90 Softgels Review

Peppermint Gels By Now Foods - 90 Softgels
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had lupus-induced IBS since I was 12, and in the 9 years since, I have tried every IBS medication that has been on (and pulled off) the market. I finally gave up and decided to just live with not knowing when I was going to be in pain, what would trigger it that day, etc. Then I heard about these capsules from a friend, and decided to try it. Words can't express the difference these pills have made! I started by taking one capsule 2-3 times a day, and within a month, I completely stopped having any attacks, or even any of the minor symptoms I used to have. I now only need to take one capsule every day, and it still works! All of the other meds made me tired or had other side effects, or just didn't help at all, but I haven't noticed any side effects in the two months I've been taking this. If you have even minor IBS, you should consider trying these capsules. They're so much safer than the prescription meds out there, they won't make you feel foggy or tired like the Hyomax does, and they work so much better!
