Adjusting UniEnzyme Dosage for IBS-Related Bloating

Consult your doctor before increasing dosage:

  1. Dose escalation: Your doctor may consider increasing the dosage to 2-2-2 tablets, but only under medical supervision.
  2. Potential side effects: Higher doses may lead to gastrointestinal side effects, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or nausea.
  3. Alternative options: If the increased dosage is not effective, your doctor may recommend alternative treatments, such as:
    • Probiotics
    • Antispasmodics
    • Low-FODMAP diet
    • Other enzyme supplements

Schedule a follow-up appointment:

  1. Re-evaluate symptoms: Discuss your persistent bloating and stomach heaviness with your doctor.
  2. Adjust treatment plan: Work with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan and find a more effective solution.
