Fungal Diastase+pepsin
About Fungal Diastase+pepsin
Fungal Diastase+pepsin is an oral digestive enzyme supplement used to help relieve indigestion, bloating, gas, and stomach fullness. It contains digestive enzymes that assist in breaking down carbohydrates and proteins, helping improve digestion and digestive comfort. While it may be used as supportive therapy in certain digestive conditions, it is not a substitute for suggested pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, which remains the standard treatment for clinically significant pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.
You should take Fungal Diastase+pepsin consistently as directed by your healthcare provider, typically after meals to maximize its effectiveness. Taking it with or immediately after food helps the enzymes mix thoroughly with your meals to assist digestion. Combining this supplement with simple lifestyle adjustments, like eating smaller portions and avoiding greasy foods, can significantly improve your results.
While Fungal Diastase+pepsin is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience mild stomach upset, diarrhea, or nausea. If you experience severe abdominal pain, a persistent skin rash, or difficulty breathing, you must stop taking the supplement and consult your doctor immediately.
Do not take this if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients or have acute pancreatitis. Talk to your doctor before starting Fungal Diastase+pepsin if you have chronic stomach conditions, a history of bowel obstruction, or severe abdominal disorders.
This supplement can interact with certain medications like antacids, which may reduce its effectiveness by altering stomach acidity. It is also wise to avoid alcohol and smoking while taking Fungal Diastase+pepsin, as they can irritate your digestive tract and reduce the benefits of the treatment. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or elderly, please consult your doctor before starting this supplement.

Drug Interactions
Drug-Drug Interactions
- Antacids (e.g., calcium, magnesium): Taking these medicines alongside Fungal Diastase+pepsin may reduce the effectiveness of the digestive enzymes by lowering stomach acid levels too quickly.
- Diabetes medicines (e.g., acarbose): Fungal Diastase+pepsin may improve the breakdown of carbohydrates, which could affect how some diabetes medicines work and may influence blood sugar control.
Drug-Food Interactions
- Very hot foods or beverages: Consuming extremely hot foods or drinks immediately before or after taking Fungal Diastase+pepsin may deactivate the digestive enzymes and reduce their effectiveness.
Drug-Disease Interactions
- Acute pancreatitis: Do not take Fungal Diastase+pepsin if you have sudden inflammation of the pancreas, as it may worsen the condition.
- Crohn's disease and other intestinal disorders: Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases or other digestive tract conditions should use Fungal Diastase+pepsin cautiously and under medical supervision.
- Bowel obstruction or intestinal narrowing: Fungal Diastase+pepsin should be used with caution in individuals with a history of bowel blockage or narrowing of the intestines, as underlying gastrointestinal conditions may require careful evaluation before treatment.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals: Consuming smaller portions reduces the workload on your digestive enzymes, allowing Fungal Diastase+pepsin to work more efficiently.
- Chew your food thoroughly: Digestion begins in the mouth. Chewing breaks food into smaller pieces, mixing it with saliva and making it easier for enzymes to digest.
- Limit high-fat and greasy foods: Fatty foods digest slowly and can prolong stomach emptying, which may worsen bloating and pressure.
- Keep a food diary: Note down what you eat and any symptoms you experience to identify and avoid specific trigger foods that cause indigestion.
- Stay upright after eating: Avoid lying down for at least 30 minutes after a meal to prevent acid reflux and promote gravity-assisted digestion.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Dyspepsia (indigestion): Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, burning sensation in the stomach, gas, and belching.
Eructation: Also known as belching or burping. It releases gas from the upper digestive tract (oesophagus and stomach) through the mouth.
Pancreatic Insufficiency: It is a digestive disorder characterized by a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes to break down food in the intestine.
FAQs
Fungal Diastase+pepsin is used to treat digestive disorders. It is also an appetite stimulant (increases hunger) that effectively treats acid indigestion (heartburn), flatulence (gas), epigastric distress (upper abdominal pain), and eructation (burping). Fungal Diastase+pepsin can also be used to relieve other digestive disorders, such as pancreatic insufficiency (inability to produce pancreatic enzymes) and abdominal discomfort.
Fungal Diastase+pepsin contains fungal diastase and Pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch-hydrolysing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars (maltose). Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller peptides (a short chain of amino acids). Collectively, Fungal Diastase+pepsin promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the essential nutrients in the intestine.
Please inform your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions to medications and a history of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) before starting Fungal Diastase+pepsin.
Do not stop using Fungal Diastase+pepsin even if you feel better until the doctor's advised course is finished. Your symptoms may improve, but the disease may not be cured completely.
