I have always used Papaya Enzyme as a digestive aid after over eating...my family usually always has a bottle present on Thanksgiving Day. I usually chew 3-5 tablets depending on degree of bloat or fullness and within 20-30mins there is noticeable relief. Works without fail for me.

My husband suffers from ulcerative colitis and spent a lot of money on ineffective prescription medications which weren't providing relief.
