About

Third-grade teacher. Suburban Denver. Twelve years in the classroom and a stomach that has made itself inconvenient for most of them.

I have had digestive issues since my late twenties. Not dramatic, just persistent. Bloating that shows up before school events. Digestion that requires actual logistical planning before a six-hour field trip. Every doctor said: probiotics. Every podcast said: probiotics. I agreed every single time, bought a bottle of capsules, choked on one at 6 a.m., and quit by Thursday.

I have always been bad at swallowing pills. Possibly psychological, definitely real. Every supplement I bought lasted about three weeks in the cabinet and then expired in the trash.

About two and a half years ago I found the gummy supplement aisle at Target. Adult gummy probiotics. Adult gummy fiber. I stood there long enough that a Target employee came to check on me. I bought four products I had never heard of.

One of them worked. Three weeks in, my digestion was noticeably steadier. I kept a log because I do not trust vague impressions. I teach third grade. I know the difference between a feeling and evidence.

What I bring to this that a random review site does not: I have tested more than forty gummy gut products over two years. I rate taste and texture separately from digestive results, because both matter if you actually want to keep taking something. I run everything for a minimum of four weeks before writing anything. Notes at week one, week two, and around week five or six. When something gives me a headache in week one, I write that down. When the improvement fades by week four, I write that down too. I flag products that list impressive ingredients at amounts too small to do anything. It took me about six months of reading labels to get good at spotting that.

Not a doctor. Not a dietitian. Just a teacher with a sensitive stomach, a Target habit, and more than forty gummy supplements tested.
