Microbiome Labs FODMATE Digestive Enzymes for Women & Men - Digestive Support for Low FODMAP Protocols & Occasional Bloating, Gas & Stomach Relief (120 Capsules)

Helpful with my current diet and gut issues

These are great, I find they work best if you use them about once or twice a week as opposed to everyday. But they make it possible to eat out without negative side effects.I also find they are less effective if you have a cocktail with dinner - might be just me but it's worth mentioning.

This works well, but I think the Fodzyme powder is the best

This product is a combination of three ingredients: lactase (lactaid), alpha-galactosidase (beano), and inulinase. It's the last of these three that is unique. The only other inulinase enzyme product I'm aware of costs substantially more.Inulinase can help with the breakdown of fructans like garlic and onions that otherwise are heavily fermented in your colon, leading to IBS-like symptoms (severe bloat followed by constipation and/or diarrheas, etc.)This product definitely helps. It's not foolproof but it had a definite effect. Breaking open the capsules and sprinkling it on food may be more effective.However, what ultimately REALLY helped was stopping Omeprazole. PPI's caused my FODMAP issues and ceasing them has largely fixed my issues.

For the last four years, we’ve been trying to figure out what has been ruining my wife’s digestion. She wouldn’t eat all day if she had to leave the house. It was destroying her mental health, causing severe anxiety and she was becoming agoraphobic. We found out it was Fructooligosaccharides in garlic and onions - which is in everything - and Fodmate has put her back on the road to normalcy. We can eat out without anny emergency bathroom stops, down from two or three stops, and she isn’t anxiety ridden about eating. This stuff is magic.

These pills are effective when I don't overdue high fodmap foods.

This made my symptoms 1000 times worse. I had been working with a Dr. And doing the FODMAP elimination diet with probiotics, etc. I was symptoms free and 90% better. I was worried about traveling to Mexico because I still react to garlic and onions so I thought I would try this. Tried with a homemade cauliflower soup so that I knew for sure what the ingredients were and if there was a reaction, it would 100% be the FodMate causing it. I have had this soup before with only very slight gassiness. Well, when adding FodMate and following the directions to the T, it started with extreme gassiness the night we tried it. The next day it was as if I had food poisoning or something. I was in and out of thr bathroom with diarrhea all day and the next day as well. My stomach was cramping a lot and it was so painful. This reaction was 100 times worse than before even treating SIBO/IBS to begin with. Now it has been a week and a half and I can safely say the FodMate has caused a complete relapse and the last 6 months of hard work and eliminating foods was for nothing. I'm really upset about this huge setback. Everyone should be aware that this product does not do what it claims and can very well hurt you and your progress.

I was half dosing these bc I have a sensitive system and some got on my hand so I licked it. The taste was very familiar, like baking soda. Not what other digestive enzymes I have bought tasted or smelled like. So I decided to take the digestive enzymes I bought at the store and these and put them in shot glass with vinegar and sure enough these bubble up slightly. I checked the ingredients and it doesn't list sodium bicarbonate. Again I don't know if that's what I tasted and my test isn't a super accurate way to tell but seem worth asking more questions.As for how well they work alone -- I'm unsure bc I take them with other enzymes. I am sensitive to bases as my stomach seems to not have enough acid and these do increase that feeling of fullness that get when I have something neutralizing acid so could be related or it could be something else.
