FODZYME Home Kit Digestive Enzymes for Gut Health Relief for Bloating Gas Constipation Diarrhea Abdominal Pain Low FODMAP

I have been using Fodzyme for 2 years and have a subscription through the actual company. I've occassionally bought extra off Amazon to get it faster when I've gone through my order more quickly than anticipated. This stuff changed my life. Being sensitive to fructan (which is in wheat products, garlic, onions, various fruits, beans/legumes, and my favorite nuts) severely limited my diet and made it WILDLY difficult to go out to eat. Fodzyme changed that. While it isn't cheap at basically over $1 per dose, it is worth it to budget for it for me because of how it has let me expand my diet and reduced stress around eating out. I normally cook in a tummy safe way at home and save the fodzyme for treats, select cravings, and going out to eat. Without fodzyme, accidental fructan exposure can lead me to staying up to the wee hours of the morning with stomach pain and diahrea. The powder doesn't really have much of a taste, so it won't change how your meal tastes if you sprinkle it on. I do recommend being mindful of grabbing the package promptly when its hot outside or if the package is sitting in the sun, as the powder is heat sensitive. Letting the powder get to 140 degrees farenheit or higher renders it ineffective. Even on comfortable 60 degree days, I've accidentally left the package in the sun for a couple hours, and when I brought it in and stuck a thermometer in the powder, it was 90something degrees.

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.

I have been able to eat foods that are high FODMAP with this. The only downfall is that it is pricey, and you only get a small amount of product. So I would only use it on occasions when I truly wanted to eat a meal I miss eating. Read more

This stuff is the only thing that allows me to actually eat food anymore after a bad bout of food poisoning. It's nearly flavorless and works for almost everything (I still can't eat fresh onions). I just wish it came in capsules instead of having to measure the powder. I do appreciate the updated spoons, which are green, making them easier to see, and have longer handles, so they don't get lost in the powder. Read more

UPDATE: Seller made this right and refunded my money. So while I'm still extremely disappointed that this product did not work for me, I appreciate the seller/company reaching out to me and refunding my money. Original post: I would give zero stars if I could. After months of looking into this product, watching videos, and reading reviews (the majority of which were positive), I decided to go ahead and order it, despite the cost, thinking if this actually can help with my ongoing digestive struggles it will be worth it. Well, about three hours after trying it - per package instructions, I spent the next two hours in the bathroom with repeated episodes of diarrhea. This product made things far worse for me. If it helps some people, great, but it had the opposite effect in my case. And the kicker is that I'm being told it's not eligible for return/refund. So I'm out almost $70. NOT a happy customer.
