Bruski00 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My husband and I just finished out first whole30! We convinced my parents who have very unhelathy eating habits to try it out! Just for 30 days! My dad is probably 40-50lbs overweight, my mom about 20lbs and so the idea of losing weight has been encouraging and exciting to them! I've done a lot of the reading and planning for them because I want to make it a smooth process and set them up for success! They are on day 5, and my dad is feeling very discouraged because he feels like he is gaining weight and a lot more bloated. My husband mentioned trying to find a digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid that is whole30 compliant. But I see that Now Super Exnzyme is no longer compliant. I called around the local natural food stores and the gentleman suggested this brand. It doesn't contain anything, it is 100% Vegetarian Capsule. I wanted to make sure that this was a good product before I tell my mom to go buy him a $35 bottle of digestive enzymes and probiotics! Can any of the moderators help! http://enzymedica.com/products/digest-gold-probiotics-enzyme-digestion I also read the article Enzymes 101, and I saw he mentioned this... Strength/potency listed: Enzymes are rated on various scales (which are too complicated to go into here), but you want to see numbers beside each enzyme showing their strength. If it’s just a proprietary formula without strengths listed, be cautious—it usually means a weak product.Can you tell me if those numbers after the enzymes are the strengths? This product got great reviews so I just need to know what whole30 says about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronwyn Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Genestra makes fantastic compliant probiotic supplements: http://www.amazon.com/Genestra-Intensive-Probiotic-Supplement-Vegetarian/dp/B008Z6AKO2/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1435868366&sr=1-1&keywords=genestra+hmf+intensive+probioticsI started using the probiotics on the recommendation of my former nutritionist. I've seen them in any well-stocked health food and supplement dispensary in the refrigerated section if you don't trust Amazon. They are a bit pricey, but really legitimate.

LauraJones Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I am looking to get a digestive enzyme but I am overwhelmed with the options and by all the bad reviews out there :-/ Can anyone give some recommendations for some good brands that have worked for you? I am specifically looking on Amazon. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I take Enzymedia Digest Gold, which is carried at Whole Foods and on Amazon. It is the same brand that the first poster mentioned. No non-compliant ingredients and works great. Let us know what you end up with and if you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug092210 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I am at my last week of whole30 and the bloating hasn't really gone away. Noticed this post was a few years old, and that some products might not be compliant anymore. It looks like this product changed a bit, so wondering if this latest version is ok to use. https://enzymedica.com/products/digest-gold-enzymes-digestive-enzyme Thank you!

There does not appear to be an ingredient list on the link you've provided so we would not be able to tell if it is or is not compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug092210 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I thought it would have been under product information under the link, that is so strange. I can't seem to find it anywhere online. I took this pic from the back of the bottle so hopefully you can read it ok. Can you also tell me what you are looking for specifically that makes it compliant or not?

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2018 Anyone that is wanting to take this supplement or any supplement that is doing the Whole30 program would be looking for ingredients that are contrary to what is allowed on the program. Sugar, dairy, grains, soy, alcohol and some preservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like there are non compliant ingredients in here but if you are going to take this, it's probably a good idea to google the items you're not sure about so you're informed about what you're putting in your body.
