FDgard is a medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of FD (functional dyspepsia), or recurring indigestion with no known organic cause. FDgard capsules deliver individually triple-coated, targeted-release, solid-state microspheres of caraway oil and l-Menthol quickly and reliably where they are needed most in FD - the upper belly. In addition to caraway oil and l-Menthol, FDgard also provides fiber and protein. Caraway oil and peppermint oil (l-Menthol) have a history of working in FD. Until now, targeted delivery to the upper belly has posed a challenge. FDgard utilizes SST (Site-Specific Targeting) technology to deliver individually triple-coated, targeted-release, solid-state microspheres of caraway oil and l-Menthol quickly and reliably where they are needed most in FD - the upper belly.

***1 million STARS***
I cannot say enough positives about this product!! I have bought tons of items from Amazon and this is literally my 2nd-ever-review. I’ve suffered with FD for several years. I noticed my stomach getting worse and worse after my we second child was born - to the point of having daily bouts of terrible nausea, random bloating and strong bouts of gas. I would snack throughout the day trying to keep the nausea gone but it was really only making my issues worse, forcing my digestive system to work even more. Started taking these and the nausea in the top of my tummy disappeared and food started to settle all the way down in my stomach instead of the feeling of it all backing up causing the gas/nausea/indigestion. My only regret is not starting it sooner. I went to a Gastro doc in 2017 and he gave me this sample. I tossed it to the side and just recently, out of desperation, I gave it a try! Truly.a.game.changer. I take them as described on the box.... 4 a day. It has given me back so much more quality, I’m in my late 30s so I really didn’t want to struggle like this forever :(. Maybe they’ll make an RX since there’s a bazillion others out there to help sufferers of FD like myself!! My issues are 95% gone with daily use. I’ve been taking these for over a month now so I waited before I reviewed!!

This Stuff Works and It's Easy To Swallow!
I have problems swallowing some pills (of all sizes), but these practically swallow themselves XD. My doctor has also tried putting me on several different types of acid/indigestion medicines, but they all make my heart rate go up significantly. He finally said "Try this" and handed me some samples of FDgard. This stuff works wonders without making me feel like I've just run a couple miles.

Nice Minty aftertaste almost makes up for the cost
I was skeptical about this supplement, seeing as you need to take a total of 4 capsules daily. It seemed like a hoax, especially since this stuff’s not cheap. But following my GI’s advice, I gave it a chance to try an appease the horrible, painful ache in my upper abdomen. I take this in coordination with a Proton pump inhibitor twice daily and it significantly (after a month of daily use) reduces the abdominal pain I was feeling. It helped with the acid reflux that was bypassing the PPI too, which was a nice bonus. It’s worth a shot if you can’t find relief.

So far so good
I've spent the past two years struggling with digestive issues. I'd seen 3 doctors, had my gallbladder removed, tried various diets and medications, and while some symptoms improved others would worsen. I didn't know if what I ate successfully yesterday would turn on me tomorrow. I finally made it into a GI specialist who recommended I try this. She gave me some samples and I tried one the next day as I felt my "flare-up" symptoms kicking in. (A "flare-up" for me was heartburn that felt like a heart attack, swelled my belly and midsection to the point where clothing was constricting me, sweating profusely, and the need to vomit to feel better. It is awful and usually takes me 24 hrs to recover back to normal. It happens with or without food, day or night.)At the first feeling of acid coming up, I took the pill. Within 20 minutes the feeling had subsided and I was able to enjoy my lunch. I've since begun taking one in the morning with my other medications (Pantoprazole) and one more in the evening. I've had no adverse side effects and no "flare-ups" since. It's only been 2 weeks, but having the most painful of my ailments appear to be managed for now makes me hopeful.

Product that does it's job!!!
I really like this product. It was recommended by my Gastro doctor and he even adds it in my file that this is a daily medicine I take (even though it is not a prescription). I had so many test, biopsies done and nothing could be found. My body was responding to a spasming thinking I had an ulcer when I don't, which leaves you with terrible pain when your stomach and GI trac thinks you have an ulcer it spasms. Painful and hard to calm down. Everything you put in your mouth and swallow brings heartburn and pain. FD Gard does the trick. Calms everything down so I can enjoy eating again.

This is what normal feels like?!
Pros:Helps with bloating, indigestion, and stomach discomfortMoves food through digestive system at the correct paceCons:None to noteThis product helped me with bloating, indigestion, and stomach discomfort. All of this was present despite eating a controlled diet. What ultimately made me feel "normal" was diet, prescription medication and FDGuard. This product was the final piece in the puzzle for me. After many doctors visits and multiple endoscopy's I found something that gave me immediate results. I was prescribed medication which did wonders for my digestive issues. While I did feel better from the prescription medication this product was really the final piece that I needed. Food would normally feel stuck at the top of my stomach for extended periods of time. This would cause a lot of discomfort. FDGuard moved the food down the digestive tract at the proper pace. Which gave immediate results upon taking it for the first time. I am very thankful that the specialist recommended it. After using this product for a couple months I was able to stop using it for an extended period of time it without issues. There was one other episode that I had almost a year later. I starting using the product again with great results and have not used it for over a year since.

Better than prescription mds
My gastroenterologist gave me some free samples and this worked when Omeprazole, Nexium, Pepto, and even peppermint or the doTerra essential oils for gastro / heartburn / dyspepsia. I’m not sure why this works within minutes when the DigestZen doesn’t. They both contain caraway, however the caraway is encased in tiny time pill type capsules. In any case, I won’t ever be without it on hand and it’s very hard to find in stores. I do wish th3 price would come down more, but I’m glad I ordered 3 boxes when on sale.
