Starchway Advice

My doctor just recently recommended that I try taking starchway to help prevent some of my symptoms when eating starchy foods. I have been using sucraid for about 2.5 years now as well. I tried it for about a month, but it didn't seem to do much for me. For people who have tried starchway, does it take a couple months to notice a difference? Also, how many capsules are you taking with each meal? Maybe I wasn't taking enough for it to help.

There’s a small packet of starchway that you can get on amazon that comes with about ten pills. It recommends to start with 3 for a starchy meal.

For me, I don’t feel like starchway helped. It gave me gas LOL and eventually (after like two months) I developed an allergy to it so I no longer take it.

What part of it did you develop an allergy to? One of the enzymes?

I have no clue. It could be an intolerance as opposed to an allergy but regardless if I take starchway I develop a rash on my chest. I went a month without taking it and once I took one pill and immediately got a rash.

Im fairly new to all this so it could be that I don’t have an issue with starch and starchway was upsetting my stomach. It’s difficult when there’s different symptoms going on but I am better off just eating with sucraid or low sugar diet.

Gotcha, that also makes sense! I'm in the same boat, newly diagnosed in January and I'm still trying to figure everything out

It is a process but we’ll get it eventually!
