    Digestive enzymes for IBS: Do they actually work?

    Can digestive enzymes help with IBS symptoms? What about enzymes that target specific FODMAPs? In this episode of The Gut Show, we're talking with Jocelyn Wells from FODZYME about digestive enzymes and their role in breaking down FODMAPs. We'll explore what digestive enzymes are, how they work, and how targeted enzyme therapy may help with digestion and IBS symptoms. We'll take a closer look at enzymes designed to target specific FODMAPs, discuss whether using an enzyme supplement means you're actually deficient in that enzyme, and whether enzyme therapy can be effective when it doesn't target every FODMAP group. If you're a clinician wanting FODZYME samples and resources for your practice, you can request them here.    In this episode, we cover: Behind the scenes [1:53] Today's guest [3:35] What are enzymes? [4:39] What are the different types of enzymes? [6:14] If an enzyme works, does that mean you are deficient? [10:59] Targeted enzyme therapy [17:57] Specific enzymes for the different FODMAPs [22:07] Inulinase [23:40] How do these enzymes work? [28:24] Is it a bad thing to not have that fermentation process? [31:18] Does it actually work if it doesn't target all of the groups? [34:31] Can we bypass this and just put these microbes in the gut? [40:28] Access to dietitian team [43:42] Have your provider request free samples for their office [47:32] What's coming up this season [50:05]   Mentioned in this episode: What's your poop personality?

    Thinking Outside of the Box with IBS: autonomic dysfunction, GLP-1s, vascular compression, and more

    MCAS. POTS. Hypermobility. GI symptoms that don't quite fit the usual boxes.   On this episode of The Gut Show, Dr. Alexis Cutchins joins us to unpack what cardiology has to do with GI—and why these systems are far more connected than most people realize.   We dive into the emerging overlap between cardiology, gastroenterology, and immune-driven conditions, exploring why these patterns so often show up together, what red flags clinicians should be watching for, and why GI symptoms may actually start far beyond the gut—especially when dysautonomia, heart palpitations, dizziness, and persistent fatigue are part of the picture.   Mentioned in this episode:  MASTER Method Membership FREE IBS Warrior Summit Take the quiz: What's your poop personality? MCAS episode   About our guest:  Dr. Alexis Cutchins is a board-certified Cardiologist and founder of Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine. I began this work after years of caring for patients with POTS, MCAS, hypermobility, and other conditions that many doctors were not prepared to manage. My dedication to this patient community is what led me to build a practice centered on their needs. I wanted to create something different for people who are often under-recognized and left without answers. At Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine, we provide inclusive, high quality support for those living with complex chronic illness.
