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

Life changing for me, after years of digestive issues, learning about FODMAP and enzymes i felt as if I got my life back. As others have said, it is pricey, Its worth the not having to know where every nearest bathroom is. I've used this product for two years and it always works to keep my gut balanced and cramp-free and all the other horrors of eating anything that sets your fodmap alarms off. Hopefully it works as well for you. Don't put it directly on hot food. My GI doctor told me to try dissolving the amount in 6 Oz of water and drink it right before the meal. I have tried this several times and it works just the same if I drink it all at once immediately before my meal.

This probably works for the stomach, but it made my head itch like crazy. I looked on Google to see if there was an issue with this product as far as itching goes and, indeed it has the tendency to make a person itch. I’m not using it now. It’s outrageously expensive.

Really works as advertised. Saves me from a lot of GI distress. Dairy, cabbage, broccoli, legumes... a little scoop of this tasteless powder & no problems!

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 have used the FODZYME product about 15 times so far and would say it definitely helps with the digestion of mushrooms, onions, and garlic, which were giving me issues earlier. What is keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the price per serving and the way it has to be used. First, I understand this is a unique product, and Kiwi Biosciences has a lot of research and start-up costs associated with this. I hope they will be able to drop the price in the future because the price per serving is cost prohibitive for a lot of people. Many FODMAPs are important staples of people's diets and it is hard to avoid them. The single serving sizes are even worse per serving and create additional waste with their packaging. FODZYME has definitely helped me with the testing I've done so far, but the cost is kind of wild. Second, trying to measure out the powder and then eat the food with the powder on it is a challenge. The 1/4 tsp scooper is kind of a mess to handle, and with the desiccant packet in the product, it's just not easy to grab this mini scooper and scrape around in the little container. This might sound silly, but having a bunch of powder on your food is kind of a choking hazard. It is really easy to inhale or exhale this stuff unless you integrate it into your first bite. As an example, sprinkling it on pizza, it just sits on the top of the slice. Using it on salad (with onions/garlic in the dressing) is not easy either. It's not a great product delivery. I understand it needs to mingle with the food to do its job, but aren't there vegetarian capsules that dissolve super fast that could be used instead? If there were capsules, the wasteful single-serving size wouldn't be needed. I hope Kiwi Biosciences continues to evolve this product's packaging and pricing so it is easier and more affordable to use.

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?

Fodzyme has been a great help to me after having my digestive system upset! I have been able to digest meals that would have been a problem without Fodzyme. My biome is now normal, but I will definitely keep Fodzyme on hand as I tend to get occasional digestive issues that can last for months.

Anyone who can not digest onions and or garlic needs to purchase this enzyme. Yes, the price is a bit high but the digestive comfort is worth the cost. I use with my first bite of any food I suspect has garlic or onion. My GI tract is happy and I can enjoy the meal. Worth the cost to be pain free.

Works well if you follow the instructions: Sprinkle on food (sufficiently cooled to prevent enzyme denaturing) and you will enjoy foods without getting sick. I use the full recommended amount, and use more if I eat again. Fodzyme treats most of the FODMAP oligosaccharides that are blamed for the unpleasant side effects of IBS.

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

Only used one dose and so far great. Hoping this will be a game changer and allow me to eat foods that I am unable to atm

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..."

Excellent produit!
