Bloating Relief
Bloating has different causes and each type needs a different fix. Use this guide to match your bloating type to the right supplement.
The Most Important Thing Nobody Tells You
Most people buy a probiotic for bloating when the actual cause is inadequate digestive enzymes. Probiotics work over weeks to months by reshaping your microbiome. Digestive enzymes work within 30 minutes of taking them before a meal. If your bloating is meal-related — meaning it happens within an hour of eating — enzymes will likely work faster than probiotics. If your bloating is chronic and present regardless of what you eat, that points to dysbiosis and a probiotic is the right starting point.
Match Your Bloating Type to the Right Fix
Bloating After Meals
Recommended fix: Digestive enzymes (Enzymedica Digest Gold)
A 2024 Frontiers in Nutrition study confirmed enzyme blends significantly reduce post-meal bloating and fullness in adults with functional dyspepsia.
See product →Bloating After Vegetables or Fiber
Recommended fix: Alpha-galactosidase enzyme (similar to Beano)
Vegetables like broccoli, beans, and onions contain fermentable carbohydrates. Alpha-galactosidase breaks them down before gut bacteria ferment them into gas.

Recommended fix: Lactase enzyme supplements
Lactose intolerance affects up to 68% of the world population. Lactase supplements allow the body to break down lactose before it reaches the colon.
See product →Chronic or Daily Bloating
Recommended fix: Probiotic (Pendulum or Seed DS-01)
Chronic bloating is often linked to gut dysbiosis — an imbalance of gut bacteria. A clinical-grade probiotic with Akkermansia muciniphila may help restore balance over 8 to 12 weeks.
