Enzymes not working? - gut health, digestive enzymes, FODMAP

"Enzymes didn’t work for me!"

We hear this occasionally. And hey, we get it—it's frustrating when you try something and it doesn’t deliver. But before you give up on enzymes forever, let’s play a little game called "Enzyme Detective." 🕵️‍♀️

I’ll hit you back with a few questions:

1) Why were you taking the enzymes? Were you trying to tackle specific foods that cause chaos in your digestive system?

2) How big was the meal? And how many enzyme capsules did you take?

3) Timing is everything! Did you take the enzymes before, at the start of, or—oops—after the meal? Because enzymes can’t help you if they arrive late to the dance.

And then there are folks who say:

"Enzymes hurt my stomach!"

First of all—ouch, sorry to hear that! But here's the deal: sometimes underlying issues like gastritis or ulcers need some TLC before enzymes can work their magic.

Good news: we can help. 💡

1) Take our 5-second, no-personal-info-required quiz to find the right enzyme for you (seriously, it’s so quick).

2) If enzymes are giving your stomach grief, DM us #Protocol and say, "Slow Motility+ for gastritis issues!" We’ll send you easy-to-follow steps to help things. Stick with Step 1 of the plan for about 60 days—no enzymes during this time—and you’ll be ready to roll.
