Question 1

Can I use FODZYME every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FODZYME is safe for daily use with meals that contain high FODMAP ingredients. Many people find it especially helpful when dining out or eating meals that may have hidden garlic, onions, or dairy.

Question 2

Why is FODZYME a powder?

Accepted Answer

Extensive testing by the development team reveals that mixing enzymes directly into food is the most effective way to deliver digestive enzymes.

FODZYME's powder form maximizes its ability to break down FODMA{s before they arrive in the colon and cause GI distress.

Question 3

What does FODZYME taste like?

Accepted Answer

I've personally tried FODZYME, and I can not detect any taste. However, some people with sensitive taste buds may detect a slight sweetness.

Question 4

Does FODZYME change the texture of food?

Accepted Answer

No, the texture of your food remains the same.

Question 5

What foods does FODZYME not work on?

Accepted Answer

FODZYME helps break down fructans, GOS, and lactose, but it does not aid in the breakdown of polyols (such as sorbitol or mannitol) or excess fructose.

Think of it as a tool to expand your diet, not a free pass to eat everything without limits.

Question 6

Who should not use FODZYME?

Accepted Answer

The FDA generally recognizes the enzymes in FODZYME as safe (GRAS). However, those with galactosemia, a highly rare hereditary condition, should consult with their healthcare provider before using FODZYME.

Additionally, to date, FODZYME has only been tested in adults. If you’re considering using it for a child with digestive issues, please consult with their pediatrician or a pediatric dietitian first.

Question 7

Can FODZYME replace the low FODMAP diet?

Accepted Answer

No. FODZYME is meant to complement the diet, not replace it.

It’s best used once you’ve completed the elimination phase and are working on reintroducing foods or broadening your diet for long-term sustainability.

Question 8

Does FODZYME lower SCFA production?

Accepted Answer

SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids), a byproduct of fiber fermentation, are a source of energy for colon cells.

They can improve gut barrier integrity and regulate the inflammatory response, making them beneficial to the gut and overall health.

In a simulated model, SCFA production was reduced with FODZYME. However, it was not depleted.

This potentially means that taking FODZYME with the appropriate high FODMAP foods may be more beneficial to gut health than avoiding them altogether.
