Before I even learned about the IBS diet, i started taking digestive enzymes because my aunt suggested them. I think they help me. My Aunt and Mom who are "normal" people who can eat anything, also think they help.
We take one from the Home Shopping Network (hsn.com), called Andrew Lessman's Your Vitamins Digest Assure. It contains amylase, celluase, lipase, protease, lactase, papain, bromelain, in a gelatin caplsule, and no other additives or fillers. The bottle also explains what each enzymes helps with such as celluase helping to digest fiber. It is probably expensive compared to other brands, i think I pay like $60 for 180 capsules.
You should check at a Health food store for a similiar product.
I think they help, but I still get gas and bloating if I eat anything really bad, but overall I think they do help.
I take one before lunch and one before dinner, not any with snacks.
