Thank you for this post on a topic that doesn’t get mentioned enough! I had most of the above symptoms and gall bladder pain/issues as well. Started supplementing with the enzymes (Pure Encapsulations) and responded well so far. Curious if you should supplement a certain time before meals, with meals, or after eating for optimal results?

That's great to hear, Stacy! Happy you found something that works for you. What I recommend is taking the supplement right before or at the beginning of the meal. This way, the enzymes get to mix with your food and help break it down properly as digestion begins.

Enzymes really are the unsung MVPs of digestion... and most people have no idea.

I used to think bloating was “just how my body works” until I realized it was tied to poor enzyme activity.

Agree! We focus so much on what we eat, but don’t realize that what happens with the food once it reaches the digestive system is equally important.
