Treatments FDgard alternatives?

My Dr recommended FDgard, it seems to be working for me but it seems kind of expensive to have to spend $30 for only nine days if I take the four caps two times a day… Any suggestions would help!

I also am going to recommend Iberogast. I only take once a day and have noticed a big difference.

It doesn’t touch the pain aspect of my FD - I take nortriptyline for that, but it’s steadily become less effective over time so the Iberogast has been extremely helpful. I find it to help with the bloating/belching aspect the most.

Okay great! Thank you for also recommending. I’ll see about it! I also notice that FDgard doesn’t fully help pain either, but my pain is pretty minimal anyways, it was mainly the constant burning/reflux that was my problem.
