FDgard is a medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of FD (functional dyspepsia), or recurring indigestion with no known organic cause. FDgard capsules deliver individually triple-coated, targeted-release, solid-state microspheres of caraway oil and l-Menthol quickly and reliably where they are needed most in FD - the upper belly. In addition to caraway oil and l-Menthol, FDgard also provides fiber and protein. Caraway oil and peppermint oil (l-Menthol) have a history of working in FD. Until now, targeted delivery to the upper belly has posed a challenge. FDgard utilizes SST (Site-Specific Targeting) technology to deliver individually triple-coated, targeted-release, solid-state microspheres of caraway oil and l-Menthol quickly and reliably where they are needed most in FD - the upper belly.

I have been taking FDgard supplements for about a year, and it really helps to decrease my stomach ache.Unfortunately, this time I wasn't lucky with the purchase from this seller. The package had arrived without any damages, but when I opened it, both packs of pills were blemished, and the foil had been cut open, revealing the capsules! I couldn't take the pills.
I have problems swallowing some pills (of all sizes), but these practically swallow themselves XD. My doctor has also tried putting me on several different types of acid/indigestion medicines, but they all make my heart rate go up significantly. He finally said "Try this" and handed me some samples of FDgard. This stuff works wonders without making me feel like I've just run a couple miles.
Pros: Helps with bloating, indigestion, and stomach discomfort Moves food through digestive system at the correct pace
Cons: None to note
This product helped me with bloating, indigestion, and stomach discomfort. All of this was present despite eating a controlled diet. What ultimately made me feel "normal" was diet, prescription medication and FDGuard. This product was the final piece in the puzzle for me. After many doctors visits and multiple endoscopy's I found something that gave me immediate results. I was prescribed medication which did wonders for my digestive issues. While I did feel better from the prescription medication this product was really the final piece that I needed. Food would normally feel stuck at the top of my stomach for extended periods of time. This would cause a lot of discomfort. FDGuard moved the food down the digestive tract at the proper pace. Which gave immediate results upon taking it for the first time. I am very thankful that the specialist recommended it. After using this product for a couple months I was able to stop using it for an extended period of time it without issues. There was one other episode that I had almost a year later. I starting using the product again with great results and have not used it for over a year since.
I cannot say enough positives about this product!! I have bought tons of items from Amazon and this is literally my 2nd-ever-review. I’ve suffered with FD for several years. I noticed my stomach getting worse and worse after my we second child was born - to the point of having daily bouts of terrible nausea, random bloating and strong bouts of gas. I would snack throughout the day trying to keep the nausea gone but it was really only making my issues worse, forcing my digestive system to work even more. Started taking these and the nausea in the top of my tummy disappeared and food started to settle all the way down in my stomach instead of the feeling of it all backing up causing the gas/nausea/indigestion. My only regret is not starting it sooner. I went to a Gastro doc in 2017 and he gave me this sample. I tossed it to the side and just recently, out of desperation, I gave it a try! Truly.a.game.changer. I take them as described on the box.... 4 a day. It has given me back so much more quality, I’m in my late 30s so I really didn’t want to struggle like this forever :(. Maybe they’ll make an RX since there’s a bazillion others out there to help sufferers of FD like myself!! My issues are 95% gone with daily use. I’ve been taking these for over a month now so I waited before I reviewed!!
My GI doctor suggested that I try this. I had been suffering from burning stomach pain and gas issues for months, but nothing else seemed to work, At this point there seems nothing majorly wrong with me that can be determined. It did not work immediately, but after taking for a couple of weeks, it has significantly reduced my symptoms but has not cured them entirely. I have good days and bad days and still have to be careful of what I eat. The downside is it is very hard to find in stores, and is rather expensive for an over the counter medication.
I see in a lot of the comments people say it’s too expensive for what it is. However, based on my experience it is completely worth it. I suffer from chronic gastritis and this has helped me with my symptoms. 10/10 would recommend
I really like this product. It was recommended by my Gastro doctor and he even adds it in my file that this is a daily medicine I take (even though it is not a prescription). I had so many test, biopsies done and nothing could be found. My body was responding to a spasming thinking I had an ulcer when I don't, which leaves you with terrible pain when your stomach and GI trac thinks you have an ulcer it spasms. Painful and hard to calm down. Everything you put in your mouth and swallow brings heartburn and pain. FD Gard does the trick. Calms everything down so I can enjoy eating again.
