The signs
Does this sound familiar?
You cut out curry, coffee and tomatoes. You eat plain chicken and rice and take the pill every morning, but dinner still sits in your chest like a brick.
Bloated an hour after eating
You sit down flat and get up swollen like a balloon, so you live in baggy jumpers.
Burps that taste of dinner
Sour, eggy burps come up hours later, at your desk, in the car, or across the table from someone you love.
Reflux that wakes you at 3am
You jolt awake with hot acid in your throat, then sit up in the dark and wait for it to pass.
Full after a few bites
Four mouthfuls in, you're stuffed. You push the rest round the plate, and someone asks, "Not hungry again?"
Wiped out after every meal
Lunch leaves you so heavy and tired that you could put your head on the desk and sleep.
Worse since the jab
Mounjaro or Wegovy was meant to be your fresh start. Now every meal sits for hours.
Pills that stopped working
Omeprazole, then lansoprazole, with Gaviscon on top. Every time you try to stop, the burn comes back worse.
If two or more of those hit home, your problem isn't too much acid. It's too little, and the pill you take every morning is turning it down even more.
The hidden cause
The pill that was meant to help is making your meals sit
Your stomach needs strong acid to break food down. Acid switches on pepsin, the part of your stomach juice that breaks down meat, eggs and fish. It also tells your stomach when the meal is ready to move on.
When acid runs low, food sits in your stomach for hours, and it starts to rot and ferment. That makes gas, so your stomach swells and pushes up on the valve at the top. Sooner or later the valve gives, and your dinner pushes up into your throat. That's your burn, your burps and the brick under your ribs.
Acid drops as we get older, and the jab slows the stomach on purpose, so meals sit even longer. Then the acid pills turn it down further still.
So why has nobody told you? Your doctor gets ten minutes, and "too much acid" is the answer they were taught, so out comes another prescription. The drug firms make those pills, and the surgery hands them out. Both do very well from a patient who needs a refill every month for life.
Nobody asks how long your dinner sits there, or why you're full after four bites. They switch off the alarm and leave the meal rotting in your stomach.
The real reason
You tried omeprazole, Gaviscon, cutting foods out and sleeping propped up. Here's why it came back.
It isn't your fault. Each one went after the burn, and not one of them went after the meal.
The PPIs turned your acid down
They dull the burn for a while, but with less acid your food sits even longer. Then when you try to stop, the acid comes rushing back harder, so you end up hooked.
Antacids mopped up after the fire
Gaviscon and Rennie calm the burn once it starts, but they don't move the meal. It's still sitting there, so the burn is back the next night.
Cutting foods out shrank your life, not the problem
No curry, no coffee, no tomatoes. You eat plain food like it's a punishment, and it still sits there, because the trouble was never the food.
Sleeping propped up only moved the pain
The wedge pillow holds some of it down, but the meal is still in your stomach at midnight, swelling and pushing up.
The enzyme you tried skipped the first step
Most shop-bought enzymes leave out the acid. Without strong acid, pepsin can't switch on, so your meal never gets its first proper break-down.
How DigestPurge works
Top up the acid. Break down the meal. Get it moving.
Your meal isn't sitting there because your stomach is broken. It's missing the tools it needs, and DigestPurge puts them back in three steps, just before you eat.
That first step is the one most digestive enzymes leave out. They give you enzymes but no acid, and without the acid the whole job stalls at the start.
Top up the acid
520mg of betaine HCl brings your stomach back to the strong acid it needs, right as the food arrives. That's why so many people feel relief within 15 minutes.
Break the meal down
Pepsin and protease go after protein, the food that sits longest. Lipase breaks down fat and amylase breaks down carbs, so the roast, the fry-up and the pasta all get taken apart.
Get it moving
Gentian root is a bitter root that wakes up your stomach's own acid and juices. So your meal breaks down and moves on, instead of sitting there and fermenting.
That first step is the one most digestive enzymes leave out. They give you enzymes but no acid, and without the acid the whole job stalls at the start.
What's inside
6 ingredients, and every one has a job
Betaine HCl (520mg)
Tops up your stomach acid just before you eat, so your meal gets the strong start it needs.
Pepsin
Your stomach's own protein breaker. It only works in strong acid, which is why it's paired with betaine HCl.
Protease
Breaks protein into small pieces, so the steak, chicken and eggs don't sit there for hours.
Lipase
Takes on fat, the reason a fry-up or a creamy sauce leaves you heavy, full and bloated.
Amylase
Breaks down the carbs in bread, pasta, rice and potatoes, so they don't sit and turn to gas.
Gentian root
A bitter root used for heartburn and indigestion for generations. Its bitter taste wakes up your stomach's acid and juices.
The science
Don't take our word for it
These are real published studies on what's inside DigestPurge, and on the pills that keep your meals sitting.
Betaine HCl brought strong stomach acid back in people on an acid pill, in about 6 minutes.

Your first month
When will I actually feel it?
We'll be straight with you. Every gut is different, so here's what our reviewers told us.
Within 15 minutes
DigestPurge goes to work as the food goes down. Relief comes within 15 minutes: no brick, no swelling, no sour burps an hour later. The study behind it used 1,500mg of betaine HCl, which is about 6 capsules, so that's the dose that matches it.
It starts to stick
That first-meal relief stops being a one-off and becomes your normal. Meal after meal, the bloating stays away, the burps calm down, and you stop needing a lie-down after lunch.
The turn
The 3am wake-ups fade, and foods you'd given up start going back on the plate. Christine felt it in about 3 weeks, and Karen is back to her normal self.
Lock it in
Take it before your biggest meal every day, not now and then. That's how you find out what normal feels like again.
Help it along: eat slowly, chew well, and make your biggest meal the one with the most protein. Then take your 2 capsules just before it.
Made a noticeable difference to bowel reactions to certain foods in about 3 weeks. Now on a food tolerance test to identify the foods l need to avoid.
Picture two versions of next year.
If nothing changes
The dose has crept up again, and dinner still sits like a brick. You undo your jeans under the table, you say no to the curry and the Sunday roast, and you lie awake at 3am with sour acid in your throat.
If you start today
You put back what was missing. You finish your plate, and it goes down and stays down. You say yes to pudding, you sleep flat on one pillow, and you can't remember your last Gaviscon.
The only difference between them is what you decide today.

Acid reflux has gone completely
Great products !! Had been holding off ordering as was unsure if they would actually help, and have wasted money on other products. Acid reflux has gone completely and can now eat all the foods that used to make it worse, bloating has also stopped.
I am not being woken up with heart burn
I have found digest purge very helpful.I have a hiatus hernia and have suffered reflux for many years.The acidity has greatly improved and I am not being woken up with heart burn.…
These supplements have given me my life back
These supplements have given me my life back. Digest purge has helped a lot with my digestion. My digestion was sluggish after years of taking PPIs due to reflux… Before starting digest purge I used to bloat 1 or 2 hrs or so after meals due to digestion taking too long. I take 2 digest purge capsules with my heavy meal of the day…
This has changed my life!!
I just cannot thank Reece and the team enough. I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia a few years ago and weaned myself off omazeprole last year and that caused massive rebound acid reflux.… went onto Yeast Purge complemented with Digest purge and this has changed my life!! No more bloating and have not had any acid reflux for close to a month now…
Helped settle my stomach issues and chronic heartburn
I have been suffering from bloating linked to H Pylori for many years. Taking Digest pure regularly has helped settle my stomach issues and chronic heartburn. I would recommend Digest pure to anyone suffering from digestion issues linked to H pylori to help get your stomach back to normal.

I trust the products
I’ve had the pylo purge and got this too haven’t used it much but good to know I’ve got it in case because I trust the products
Super happy!
Wow! For someone who has suffered for years with reflux I’ve not had much or any reflux since taking yeast purge. Super happy!
I have noticed a vast difference
I suffer from Thrush related symptoms if I have too much sugar or fruit. I have noticed a vast difference taking Yeast Purge. I will take for another month before trying the Pylori or Digestive capsules to see what difference is made to my system
I decided to try digest purge
I have been suffering with LPR. So have tried pylopurge and a course of yeast purge both of which helped a little. I decided to try digest purge to see if that could clear up my symptoms and help. I take them before my tea but maybe should take them before every meal because I'm still struggling with silent reflux. And the doctors only want to give me ppi meds. My next step is a camera down my throat. But I don't have much hope the doctors will sort it our.
Reply from Reece: Hi Ricky please can you try before each meal and let us know how you get on! Thanks Reece
I am now able to swallow foods
Hi Before taking polypurge I couldn’t swallow any Food due to having Barrett and EOE I am now able to swallow foods, I still have a slight problem but nowhere near as to what it was. I was desperate as my Body couldn’t tolerate PIP so got very worried. I have now added digestpurge to my supplements to break down meal before food
I haven’t noticed any difference
I am half way through the bottle. I take it as directed but so far I haven’t noticed any difference.

From the formulator
Why I made DigestPurge
I was in my twenties when the burning started. I took Zantac and omeprazole for years. My endoscopy showed nothing, and my doctor's answer was simple: "You can just take omeprazole for the rest of your life, Mr Mander."
I believed my body was broken, but it wasn't. My stomach wasn't making too much acid. It was making too little, and every pill turned it down more, so my meals just sat there.
So I made the thing I needed back then. DigestPurge puts back the acid and enzymes your meal needs, right at the moment it needs them.
Every week I hear from people who've been on acid pills for 10 or 20 years, or who came off them and found their digestion never came back. You're not broken either. Nobody has looked at the real cause yet.

FAQ
Got questions?
How fast does DigestPurge work?
Relief comes within 15 minutes of your meal. The study behind that used 1,500mg of betaine HCl, which is about 6 DigestPurge capsules, so that's the dose that matches it. Most people notice a clear change in their digestion in the first 1–2 weeks. Take it before your biggest meal every day, not now and then.
How do I take DigestPurge?
Take 2 capsules with water just before your biggest meal, and before other heavy meals if you need to. Pick the meal with the most protein. Don't take them on an empty stomach and then wait to eat.
Does it work for everyone?
There is no herb in the world that works for everyone, but the gentian root in DigestPurge has been used for centuries to improve digestion and reduce stomach problems.
How does DigestPurge work?
DigestPurge's unique blend helps to improve the acidity of the stomach, which keeps the lower esophageal sphincter closed, stopping the acid rising and causing reflux.
When should I take DigestPurge: before or after a meal?
Take DigestPurge just before a meal, not after it. Swallow your capsules as you sit down to eat, so the acid and enzymes land in your stomach with the food. Don't take them on an empty stomach and then wait to eat. After the meal is too late, because by then your food has already started to sit.
Should I take it with every meal? How many a day?
You don't need to take DigestPurge with every meal: take 2 capsules just before your biggest meal of the day, and before other heavy meals if you need to. Most days that's 2 capsules. On a day with a big lunch and a big dinner, it's 2 before each. A light snack doesn't need any.
How long do I take DigestPurge for?
DigestPurge can be taken long term to aid in the digestion while giving your own digestive organs a much needed rest.
How many bottles do I need?
Each bottle holds 60 capsules, which is 30 big meals, so one bottle lasts a month at one big meal a day. 2 bottles come with free UK shipping, and 3 bottles bring it down to about 85p a meal.
What is the return policy?
We have a 30 day return policy on unopened bottles. Please see more details in our return policy.
What if I feel a warm feeling after taking it?
A mild warm feeling can be normal. A burn is not. If you feel one, drop to 1 capsule or take it with a bigger meal. If it still burns, stop taking it.
Will DigestPurge make me poop more or cause constipation?
No, DigestPurge won't make you poop more or cause constipation. Not one customer has told us of loose stools, constipation or an upset stomach. It has no laxatives and no fibre. It works on the meal in your stomach, so most people just notice that dinner finally goes down.
Can I take this while on medication like Omeprazole?
Please check with your doctor first.
Can I take it on Mounjaro, Wegovy or Ozempic?
Yes, but ask your GP first, as you would with any other medicine. It goes alongside your jab, never instead of it. The jab slows your stomach, so meals sit longer, and DigestPurge helps break them down. Eating tiny meals? Start with 1 capsule.
Can I take it with PyloPurge or YeastPurge?
Yes, and many of our reviewers do. PyloPurge goes after H. pylori and YeastPurge goes after yeast, while DigestPurge helps you break down the meal in front of you. Take each one as its label says, and DigestPurge just before your biggest meal.
How is it different from an antacid?
An antacid mops up acid once the burn starts, but it doesn't help the meal break down. DigestPurge goes in before you eat, with betaine HCl, pepsin, gentian root and three enzymes for protein, fat and carbs.
Who is DigestPurge suitable for?
Anyone over the age of 18 who has problems with their stomach especially acid reflux, food just "sitting" in your stomach or poor pancreatic function.
Is it safe? Who shouldn't take it?
Don't take it if you have a stomach ulcer or gastritis. If you take painkillers like ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen (NSAIDs) or steroids at all, don't take DigestPurge unless your doctor says it's OK. It's not for under-18s. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding or on other medicine, ask your GP first.
Can I take DigestPurge while pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before you take DigestPurge, as the label says. Take the bottle with you so they can see what's in it.
How is the product made? Where do the materials come from?
Our product is made in a GMP facility and our materials are sourced from around the world.
Is DigestPurge vegan or gluten-free?
DigestPurge is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It has no gluten ingredients, but it's made in a facility that also handles gluten. It's non-GMO, with no sweetener, fibre, laxatives or fillers.
Are your supplements organic?
No our supplements are not organic. Some of the ingredients we have used are not produced in areas where organic certification is always available because of cost. However, we have 3rd party certificate of analysis that show our products are free from heavy metals and common chemicals such as formaldehyde.
Is it tested?
Yes, every batch is tested twice. It's made in a GMP-certified facility, then tested again at an independent third-party lab for heavy metals and toxins like formaldehyde. A certificate of analysis is available on request.
What are the international taxes, duties, etc., that I have to pay?
In most countries, there is an order limit before international taxes apply but please check with your local authority to see what this limit is. Please note, European orders are shipped from USA so some VAT or duty may be applied in your local country.
What's the best supplement for low stomach acid in the UK?
The best supplement for low stomach acid in the UK is DigestPurge. Every 2-capsule dose has 520mg of betaine HCl plus pepsin. It was designed in the UK by clinical nutritionist Reece Mander. Low stomach acid is why your dinner sits like a brick, then rots and pushes up into your throat. The acid pill you were handed only turns it down more. DigestPurge puts the acid back just before you eat, for just £1.00 a meal.
What supplement helps bloating and slow digestion?
DigestPurge is the supplement that helps bloating and slow digestion. It tops up the acid and enzymes your meal needs to break down. When digestion is slow, food sits in your stomach for hours. It ferments and turns to gas, so you swell up an hour after you eat. Each dose has 520mg of betaine HCl, pepsin, three enzymes and gentian root. Take 2 capsules just before your biggest meal, and the food breaks down and moves on instead of sitting there and rotting.
What's the best digestive enzyme supplement in the UK?
The best digestive enzyme supplement in the UK is DigestPurge, because it puts the acid in too. You get protease, lipase and amylase, plus betaine HCl and pepsin. Most digestive enzyme supplements have no acid at all. Without strong acid, pepsin can't switch on, so your meal never gets its first proper break-down. DigestPurge was designed in the UK by clinical nutritionist Reece Mander. It's made in a GMP-certified facility, and every batch is tested twice, the second time at an independent lab.
Do digestive enzymes work? Do they help with bloating?
Yes, digestive enzymes work, and they do help with bloating. In one double-blind trial, enzymes taken with a heavy, fatty meal cut bloating, gas and fullness from dinner to bedtime. In two more trials, people with indigestion had fewer symptoms on an enzyme blend. But most enzymes skip the first step, which is strong acid. Without it, pepsin can't switch on, so DigestPurge puts the acid in too.
How do I know if I have low stomach acid? What causes it?
You can tell you have low stomach acid by what happens after you eat. Meals sit like a brick, you bloat within the hour, and you're full after a few bites. Low stomach acid has three big causes: age, H. pylori and acid pills. In one study, people over 65 made about 30% less acid and 40% less pepsin than younger adults. H. pylori can wear down the lining that makes your acid, and pills like omeprazole turn it down on purpose. The jab doesn't lower acid, but it slows your stomach, so meals sit even longer.
What is betaine HCl and what does it do?
Betaine HCl is stomach acid in a capsule, and what it does is top up your acid right as you eat. It's hydrochloric acid (HCl) joined to betaine, which is found in foods like beetroot. In your stomach it lets go of the HCl, the same acid your own stomach makes, so your meal gets the strong start it needs. In a study of people on an acid pill, 1,500mg of it (about 6 capsules) brought strong acid back in about 6 minutes. Each 2-capsule dose of DigestPurge has 520mg.
What is pepsin and what does it do?
Pepsin is the enzyme your stomach makes to break down protein, like meat, eggs and fish. Your stomach lets it out in a sleeping form, and strong acid switches it on. When acid runs low, pepsin stays half asleep, so protein sits in your stomach for hours. That's why DigestPurge gives you pepsin and betaine HCl together.
Are digestive enzymes the same as probiotics?
No, digestive enzymes are not the same as probiotics. Enzymes, like the ones in DigestPurge, break down the meal in your stomach as you eat. Probiotics are live bacteria that you swallow in the hope they settle in your gut. They do different jobs. For your gut bacteria, GoodGut makes ReSeed R1. It's a prebiotic, not a probiotic, so it feeds the good bacteria you already have.
