FODZYME® On-The-Go Digestive Enzymes for Gut Health, Relief for Bloating, Gas, Constipation, Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain, Low FODMAP, 30 Dose

I've been using this product fairly regularly for about a year now. Fairly regularly because sometimes I forget and sometimes I just can't be bothered. It has its uses and it definitely is not a cure-all. I'm reading a lot of the low star reviews and I'm fairly certain those people have not read what this product is, the intended use, or have inflated expectations. To be fair, the instructions are pretty vague; you're supposed to sprinkle a 1/4 tsp on a portion of food, but what is a portion? Who knows. It's important to also note that the enzymes in Fodzyme will denature at temps above 140F/60C. I found that out the hard way. And it clumps when you sprinkle it on liquids like soup, which seems to make it less effective. But, it's a trial-and-error situation and it doesn't take too long to figure out the approximate dosage and proper application. So, a little background. I was diagnosed with IBS by my gastroenterologist a while back, which is their way of saying they don't know what's wrong. Through personal research and tribulation, I found it to be food related. Specifically, my digestive system can't breakdown FODMAPs. I also developed lactose intolerance at around the same time. Enter Fodzyme. Depending on the type of food and how my body is feeling that day, Fodzyme will leave me pretty comfortable after the meal. If the food has a lot of FODMAPs and lactose, think onions, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, etc., I will use twice the dosage, reapplying mid-meal. That usually works. Not all the time. Don't ask me why. I'm just glad it does most of the time. I also take a lactase supplement called Lactojoy when I eat dairy. I don't trust Fodzyme to have a sufficient amount of lactase and it's incredibly expensive to use for that purpose. This product has given me the confidence to eat a more balanced diet and is forcing me to pay attention to what I eat. Like I said, it's not foolproof and you need to figure out the dosage yourself, but it's better than avoiding all FODMAP triggers and living a sad life. Despite its minor flaws and inconveniences, I still think it's a 5-star product that improves the lives of people dealing with IBS due to FODMAP sensitivity.

This product worked for me when nothing else did. It’s not a miracle—I’m on my second bottle and waiting for the same results as the first, but it seriously changed the quality of my digestion.

This enzyme mixture makes my life so much better! I'm sincerely grateful and use it frequently. Eating out would certainly be impossible without it. It's pretty easy to use with most foods and it allows me to go places and do things I couldn't without it. The best!

This is actually really helpful. It is really hard to eat low Fodmap; garlic is in EVERYTHING, it's super annoying. This has made going out to eat a lot easier Sprinkle some on the food, flavorless and odorless, and it 100% helps. It's expensive, but totally worth it. Don't really want to go into details beyond that, but let's just say it prevents exactly what it's designed to prevent.

After being on the fodmap diet for almost 2 years I was hoping this would help with my digestive issues. However, I didn't notice much difference with or without these enzymes. I loved the concept and was disappointed that the effects weren't very noticeable. I keep trying it hoping that the results will be different and better.... yet no real change in my digestion. My hopes are that they work better for others than they did with me.

Since Covid, I have developed food intolerances and allergies to things that never bothered me before. I also have a genetic hiatal hernia, which causes reflux plus, I'm taking a GLP-1 for weight loss which slows my digestion. All those things combined make for a difficult time digesting most food. This product is very easy to carry in my shoulder-bag, for use on-the-go, or at home. The packettes are EZ to open and the product dissolves quickly into food, without any taste. It really does help with digestion, esp. for vegetables such as broccoli.

This is not a panacea for everyone. IBS is so hard and causes great anxiety, so of course, everybody wants a sliver bullet. I am still experimenting prior to re-ordering. I find that it causes me stomach pain but less bloating. I find that it helps with Fructans such as wheat, garlic and onions, so I can eat pasta again. It does not help with GOS and Fructose. The best time to see how it works for you is to test when you have some time that does not require traveling or when in a high stress period. Most important, keep very good notes on what you ate, when and how your digestion worked. It is quite expensive per dose.. but if it works, why not?

I love this stuff! It really helps me to digest fruits, vegetables, wheat and dairy products that used to give me grief. It's a miracle how well it works. I can't live my life avoiding onions & garlic and a whole list of other foods, so I use Fodzyme.

Opens up a whole new world of flavours! It's so liberating to suddenly think, "Oh, I CAN eat that!", going around the supermarket or eating out becomes so much easier. Fantastic product that really helps, particularly when travelling because I don't have to explain "my body can't digest onion, garlic, gluten..."

This helps so much with my kid very happy with this product.

Excellent for fructans and GOS intolerance. No I can enjoy pizza and so many other things when out with friends, and I don’t need to ask my family to alter their cooking.

Great

I love these enzymes. They really solve my gastrointestinal problems like no other.
