Summary
After four years on hydrocortisone for POTS-related symptoms, she began taking four Renew Life Digest More Ultra digestive enzyme capsules with each meal. She was then able to wean her hydrocortisone from 25mg to 12.5mg without her usual dizzy spells, and her stool and skin bumps normalized, which she calls "a big thing for me." She states she has no financial or employment ties to the enzyme's manufacturer.
