Well, this is unforunate so I thought I'd share what I just found out. (this may be location based as I'm in the US)

If you are ordering an item that costs just over $10 including taxes, like one item I ordered was a grand total of $10.10 on my credit card statement...be careful! The order showed up as $10.10 on my statement as pending. A day later, the order changed to $9.30 with an .80 cent credit from Sephora. Apparently Sephora charges you an approximate tax and then changes it later if it ends up being less. So.....all my orders that were just above $10 in my cart are now freaking under $10 when Sephora changed it automatically!!!

So I highly advise everyone to order items that are like $11 or $12 plus so if they credit you a tax discrepancy automatically like they did mine, you won't fall under $10. All my purchases and credits Sephora did are pending so we'll see.

Sigh, this is so aggrivating!

Does anyone know if Foodzyme helps when you are sensitive to especially garlic and onions causes straight diarrhea and not bloating and cramps?

I also get heartburn from both of those vegetables as well as other vegetables high in fodmaps. I also take Colestipol for bile acid malabsorption, but the pills don't help everything.

The product is quite expensive and I just want to make sure it could help me before I buy it.

It's the first time using goodlabs and though I read issues about the interface, it seems much better than other discount labs websites. I'm very thankful that I can get my labs at a reasonable price.

I've had some people ask me why I'd pay out of pocket when I can go through my insurance to get them free. Yeah, that would be true... if my doctor (and I'm sure many others) would order the tests I ask for. I've been through three doctors in 20 years (not a ton to choose from with my insurance) and they all say they want proactive patients and to have a partnership with patients for their health and wellness. Well, that's never been my experience. Anytime I ask for labs I've done research on, it's like I get the traditional eye roll or an outright, no I won't order that, it's not needed. Plus, my doctor only orders tests like the A1C and Cholestrol once a year, and I found that mine has been pretty high for years and he's never said anything at all.

It's just nice to have a place that I can order what my doctor refuses, like reverse T3 or ApoB. It really feels like doctors don't want to see a whole picture of health for patients and don't really want focus on preventative testing vs only finding out when it's really bad and there's a problem....but they sure sell you that on your first visit and "about me" videos.

It's just going to be awkward having to show my doctor the results of the tests he refused to order for me. I want to take control of my poor health...I just don't get why so many doctors seem to not want to help with that. Anyone else?
