Breaking It Down

A capsule with the first bite — digestive enzymes span the spectrum from replacement therapy that keeps pancreatitis patients alive to supplement-aisle hope for every bloated dinner, and the difference matters.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts sort the spectrum honestly: pancreatic insufficiency writers whose prescription enzymes returned weight and stool and stamina, lactose-intolerant diners liberated by lactase, and the general-bloating cohort whose broad-spectrum blends helped, did nothing, or mostly cost money. Writers cover dosing learned by fat content, the meals still not worth it, testing that identified real deficiency versus guesswork, and clinicians drawing the line between medicine and marketing.

Who it's for

For anyone prescribed enzyme replacement, self-experimenting in the supplement aisle, or deciding whether their digestion needs chemistry or just time.
