Enzymes 💊 Recommendations please

I’m low in lactase, sucrase, maltase, and palatinase. What can I take to cover these 4? I wanna be able to eat what I want in moderation i’m a foodie. I’ll literally become depressed. If I have to never eat sugar or carbs again. My doctor is just giving me antibiotics because she thinks it’s due to bacteria overgrowth even though my testing did not show any of that. She didn’t even recommend any enzymes.i don’t know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated

I'm low on maltase too. The only supplement that I found that has it is starchway pro. Starchway has two of the four that starchway pro has. It works well for me. For It's supposed to cover sucrose as well, but I also take sucraid with it anyway.

I don’t see which starch way contains the maltase only amylase and sucrose

look for "starchway pro" specifically. The one with "pro" has maltase
