I have purchased various probiotics and digestive enzymes products over the last year, trying them out, but nothing has come close to Dr. Matthew’s in regards to quality of ingredients, packaging, company integrity, customer service, and obviously, if you’re reading this because you’re interested in these items – the actual “production results” from using them. I am in my 30’s and I have spent most of my entire life with either diarrhea at extreme times of eating certain foods, or loose stool. I have also had cramps, bloating, stomach pain, the instant urge to use the bathroom after eating, stomach rumblings, and sometimes when I eat things that affect my stomach in a negative way, I actually feel hungry more often and eat more. Well, I am SUPER HAPPY to report that I am producing solid, clean stools! I mean “clean” as they say that you should only have 2-3 wipes with healthy stool, and I am a 3 or 4 on the stool chart of 1-7, so I am right where I am supposed to be at for stool. To note, I take this probiotic 2x a day. The bottle says only 1 a day, but I emailed Dr. Matthew and 2 is fine if I choose to do so. These caplets for the probiotics are why they work so much better than all of the capsules I have tried. You can read about their reasoning from Dr. Matthew’s info, and they are legit! They last 6-8 hours, which is why I take two. I intermittent fast every day, not eating until lunch time, and at lunch I have 1 Dr. Matthew’s probiotics caplet, 1 Dr. Matthew’s Digestive Enzymes capsule, and 2 Dr. Matthew’s Turmeric Curcumin capsules. If the meal is an “iffy” one for my stomach, I’ll take another digestive enzymes in the middle of the meal. I eat as late as about 9 or 10 pm, so the two probiotics cover this entire time range. I feel better, my stomach is flatter, and my stool has NEVER been better! You can see from some other reviewers who did their research, this company is on the up and up when it comes to their production practices. Some companies are a bit sketchy, and this is something you are consuming, daily! Also, their ingredients, yes! They actually list them unlike some competitors, and for someone like me who eats a low FoDMAP diet, this is so important to know what’s in everything I eat, AND, they do not have ANY high FoDMAPs in their product! A lot of other probiotics have high FoDMAP ingredients. What’s also super-awesome to report is that I have been trying out a couple of “trouble” foods, and so far, so good! I had two egg burritos the other day, and I haven’t had flour tortillas in almost a year, and not only did my stomach not hurt, my stool was still good too! What!?! AMAZING! Oh, and how could I forget getting to have chocolate chip cookies for the first time in over a year and a half! They were SO GOOD! And NO stomach pain, no digestive issues, and my stool was perfect! YES! :D I do take a Dr. Matthew’s Digestive Enzymes with each meal, and two if it is a larger, potentially “trouble” meal, such as a second digestive enzymes before my second egg burrito. They have worked GREAT! The Dr. Matthew’s Digestive Enzymes are not only high quality in regards to the ingredients, but they have almost DOUBLE, if not more, of the actual amount you’re getting for each different enzyme! Also, with the probiotics, I have a better, overall “general sense of well-being” as others have posted before regarding taking probiotics, and I have more energy, in a good way, not a caffeine/over-hyped way.Now, I’m posting this same review on all three products because I think they work well together overall as the Dr. Matthew’s Turmeric Curcumin supplements also help with digestive health along with other benefits. And some may think, “Wow, that is expensive buying all of these caplets/capsules!” Yes, it’s not the cheapest, but THIS, IS, YOUR, HEALTH, and you can pay for it right now where it’s not that expensive compared to other stuff in life and I can enjoy food, my life, not be in pain, etc, or I can save some money now, be in pain, not enjoy eating, have bathroom issues, and pay even more money when I’m older because of all of the digestive issues I have had for years. Here’s the thing folks, if my stool is off, some people say, “So what? Stop looking, just flush.” But, your stool is a representation of what occurred inside of you after you ate. If your stool is not in the “healthy” zone, that means your digestive system has an issue of some kind. With loose stool, or seeing a bunch of food chunks in your stool, this means that food items are not getting properly digested, which means certain nutrients are not actually getting to my body that needs them, and THAT is the dangerous endgame of not attending to this problem NOW!Also, for saving money, yes, you could “save and subscribe”, but also, if you swipe to the last picture on Dr. Matthew’s products, you’ll see that if you buy more than one item at a time, you can get a really good discount! These are products that are way better than a lot of the other ones and are very “above board” on their ingredients, and the company’s business practices. You can actually get them CHEAPER than some of the inferior products with sketchy ingredients if you use the multiple-items discount codes.And no, I did not do this for a free bottle, I did not get paid to do this, but when you have digestive issues/”bathroom problems” your whole life, and now you have nice solid stools, you feel great, you’re not as hungry because you’re actually full and can feel satiated instead of that “hollow” feeling from digestive issues, can confidently eat food without worrying about the potential troubles to come, you don’t have to “rush” to the bathroom, no stomach pains/cramps/bloating, you can LIVE LIFE, you too would write a glowing review and want others to know! I’m looking forward to trying out more foods that were previously causing issues for me! THANK YOU DR. MATTHEW!!! :D ^_^

UPDATE: I'm on my second bottle. These probiotics are keeping me regular for the first time in my life. I take my on an empty stomach as soon as I get up. These need a 60 or 120 count because 30 count isn't enough.My belly was sitting out like I was carrying quads. Life and my job has me stress eating which resulted in excessive weight gain. I only been on the probiotics for a week and I noticed a slight decrease in belly and I stopped having cravings. I still break wind though!

I've never experienced a supplement that made such an immediate change in my body. For quite some time I've felt compelled to eat huge amounts, even knowing my stomach was full. The reason I started looking into probiotics was I believed it had to be a problem with my gut flora, because I have good self-discipline in other areas. I researched the strains that have been associated with weight loss and appetite and this product contained all of them, plus manufacturing in the US under FDA oversight is important.Within 24 hours of first taking this, I just lost the compulsion to gorge on junk food. I find I'm thinking about what I would like to eat, and deciding to make something tasty and healthy rather than grab chips or donuts for instant carbs. I now think I was being driven to gorge by gut flora that demanded huge amounts of carbs, and the new guys on the block have successfully overpowered those bad guys with healthier demands.I grossed my sister out talking about my new parasite, as in "Would I like a muffin? Hmmm, no, my new parasite would like an apple." She insisted I give it a name, so now I run each food decision by Pari. Anyway, I've not consciously dieted but my calorie count went down on its own by 800+ calories per day and I've lost several pounds in a week. For the first time in years I feel like it's going to be possible for me to stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan, and be free of the cycle of swearing off junk food, failing within days, feeling ashamed, starting over with less confidence than before.For sure, this supplement isn't going to do the work for me. I still need to not let myself get over hungry or overtired or dehydrated, in order to make good decisions and not fall back on bad habits.Two side effects I love: I used to get terrible acid reflux at night from eating a ton of food before bed. Now I'm able to not do that - last night I had only an apple after 9 pm - and so I'm sleeping all night without having to prop myself up on pillows just to fall asleep. The second side effect is that I'm able to feel the experience of being hungry and not having to do anything about it. It feels good to be a little bit hungry, and thinking about what I'd like to eat. I think it's been years since I had that simple pleasure, because I was always gorging before I had a chance.Note: I've changed my diet to give the new gut flora what they're asking for. I suspect if I eat a bunch of junk food the new guy flora might not take it well. That may explain why some people have complained about bad intestinal reactions

Has most of the strains I was able to find that support low histamine in the digestive tract, but I'm uncertain about the benefit I'm seeing. Also makes me fart more than usual. Struggling with undiagnosed MCAS. Trying all the things. Changing gut flora takes some time and usually significant dietary changes which I'm unable to make because diet is already so restricted. We shall see. Not too expensive, so why not try?
