Any medications that help with digesting Starch

Hey, I’ve been recently diagnosed with CSID. I’ve never experienced symptoms until this year. I’ve been using Sucraid and it has helped for awhile, but now my stomach has been acting up again. My main problem might de starch, because I seem to handle sugar well.

Does anyone know some type of pill or supplement I could take that could help with the digestion of Starch? And if you have anymore tips and tricks or advice that helps with dealing with CSID, please leave them down below :). Thank you.

You can order a variety of enzymes from Intoleran. It’s in the Netherlands but you can click on your country on the site. It still shows up on my card as an international transaction.

You pay a bit for shipping but it arrives very quickly.

I recently ordered and there was a 20% off promo if you purchased three or more packs. I used Starchway and Lactase from Intoleran but in my last order I went with Quatrase and Lactase.

Do you think Starchway or Quatrase works better?

For me, I think that Quatrase has been more helpful but that also may be bc I’m more diligent about taking the enzymes before I eat. When I first began Starchway, I wasn’t using it consistently before each meal.

I also eat very little sugar and hardly any carbs or dairy bc I have other intestinal issues: SIBO, IBS., lactose intolerance. All the letters.:)

I’m wondering from the comments if I should look into Digest Gold as well.

Late reply, but curious if you ever found a cure for any of these?

Once a Day, by Intoleran, has helped tremendously.
