Digestive enzymes and gas

Hockadoo

Seems to be contradictory opinions on this, so hopefully I can get a consensus on the following question:

In most cases, do digestive enzymes help reduce gas and gas pain/cramps? If so, what brand do you recommend? (btw, I have tried Gas-X to no avail and Beano to little).

Many thanks for your much appreciated thoughts.

If I'm going to having a gas-producing meal, I'll take a digestive enzyme with my first bite of food. Whole Foods makes one called Wholezyme which I've used; now I'm using Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes.

They seem to help - usually. Beano doesn't do much for me, either. Hope you find relief.

I found that if I have severe cramps that takine Activated Charcoal really helps. I also put a heating pad on my gut where the pain is and lay down for a bit.

Hi I take digestive enzymes Creon, the pharmacist said that sometimes it takes a bit for your body to adapt i.e. for gas to reduce. I still had problems with diarrhoea and gas but now take rotating antibiotics with the creon and I am much better.
Also creon can work better when taking a proton pump inhibitor.
