- Home Kit Digestive Enzymes for Gut Health, Relief for Bloating, Gas, Constipation, Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain, Low FODMAP, 60 Dose

Amazing! Yes, it can be pricey, but if you struggle with eating out, it is more than worth it. IBS issues had me always worried about dinners with family, be it home cooked or dining out. Now, I have limited worries. Fodzyme does not help with certain things—honey, apples, agave, etc if they are trigger foods. BUT it does help with so many more! I’m able to eat pizza, dairy and things I thought I would be able to. I usually sprinkle one dose on my dinner, if I am eating a larger meal, I will do two packets, spread out. It doesn’t have any taste. The individual packets have 1/3 of a tsp in them vs the recommended dosage of 1/4tsp.

I’ve used 3 times so far, and so far so good. Since being treated with antibiotics and herbal antimicrobials for SIBO (which many people are walking around with and don’t even know!!!), my gut microbiome was shot. Couldn’t tolerate any dairy all of the sudden, and garlic/onion was also a nightmare. Tested fodzyme with both, and no side effects or gut pain! Even if you do not have any intolerance, fodzyme is still a major support to your gut post larger meals. It takes the load off your gut, and gives an assist. Ultimately giving you energy from foods ingested, and normal bowel movements. P.s. anytime you take enzymes (of any kind), it is imperative that you drink LOTS of water. This helps keep everything moving as it should. Thank you Fodzyme!

I've had SIBO for almost a decade at this point, so I'm quite acquainted with using enzymes to help me digest my food in a way that doesn't leave me miserable in the bathroom afterwards. This powder is an absolute must if you're hesitant about any food you're eating. If you have any kind of special diet, you know the mental girding you do to ask a server or whoever about what's in the food you're about to order or eat. Sometimes they have the answers, often times they don't, and often they are given bad information because people think I'm just being difficult. I can make educated guesses about what's safe this far into my SIBO journey, but sometimes people don't think about garlic powder or onion powder, or what have you. This is especially handy for decanting into a smaller container (I use little squeeze bottles from Daiso Japan that I think are intended for salad dressing in packed lunches) when you're eating away from home or traveling. When I go home to see my family in Georgia, when I tell servers at a restaurant that I can't have any garlic or onion, they say to me, "Oh, there isn't much in it! It'll be fine!" not understanding that no, it actually won't be fine, and you won't be around when it's not fine. So this powder is super helpful for that. Yeah, they sell the small packets, but sometimes I need more powder for a meal than one little packet provides, so that's why I like to be able to decide what amount I'm dispensing. You don't notice the taste at all, unless you get some stuck to the roof of your mouth like I do when I eat spicy tuna on crispy rice. Then it has a slightly subtle sweet taste, but nothing that overpowers the food at all. I'm able to eat a small amount of avocado with this, which wasn't the case before I started using it. It's pricey, for sure. But it's worth it to me to introduce some more variety of vitamins and nutrients back into my diet in a way I couldn't before. I hope my long-term health sees the dividends.

Good but way too expensive for the size. This is a tiny jar.. it should be half the price .. Then they will sell more of it. Does it work? Yes!

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'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.

I’m lactose intolerant and sensitive to beans, broccoli, chickpeas, you name it. But garlic and onion are the worst. I’ve taken Beano and Lactaid for years but recently discovered Fodzyme. Whatever third ingredient they use to help with garlic and onion is fantastic. It works so much better than Beano (even in high doses). It’s easy to use and I don’t mind the very slight taste to the powder. However I recommend that people experiment with the level. Often times I have to use 1.5 or even 2 scoops of this for more garlic-heavy dishes otherwise my stomach is still upset. Definitely lean on the side of more powder rather than less. I would love if Fodzyme came out with an “extreme” or “extra” product to help those of us who need more. Also I understand that individual packets will cost more than buying in bulk but setting it at literally twice the price is ridiculous.

I developed SIBO about 2 months ago, possibly as the result of a Covid infection (long Covid?). Experiments showed that a low FODMAP diet keeps the main issues in check (severe, almost continuous burping is the worst, but the bloating is no picnic either), but I really miss wheat in particular and so was eager to find that FODZYME promised to allow eating that again. I found it very easy to use and completely tasteless, but unfortunately using FODZYME as directed seemed to make no difference in the amount of gas being produced by those critters in my gut. But worse, after using it with ever-smaller portion sizes I started experiencing indigestion that got worse each time I tried it. By the 4th time I was throwing up and developed diarrhea that lasted 2 days (although low gut motility characteristic of SIBO undoubtedly contributed to the latter). It'd be a great thing to have on hand if it worked (nevermind the cost if it makes the difference between being able to go out to a restaurant with friends and sitting at home alone eating a very restrictive diet), but at least for me it didn't. Fortunately Amazon refunded the full purchase price with little hassle, so I'd recommend you try it if you need something like this. But I would further recommend that if you find it doesn't work and/or you don't tolerate it after the 2nd or 3rd dose that you not press your luck!
