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

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

This product really works

I googled the enzymes listed in this product and compared with Monash University FODMAP Diet app. The enzymes in the capsules should help breakdown fructose (like in broccoli or garlic), fructan (like onion or cabbage), lactose, and GOS (like beans/tofu), but won't help with mannitol (like cauliflower) or sorbitol (like cherry). I tested the effect by eating a large portion of tofu, garlic, and cabbage plus several spoonful of chickpeas. It seems to reduce but not eliminate the expected GI symptoms. I guess the dosage might not be high enough for a large amount of FODMAP or other food contents, like high fiber content, also contribute to digestive problems.

Great

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.

I've been diagnosed with SIBO, and struggle with digesting basic nutrients known as FODMAPS. I'm in the process of testing available enzymes to see if they will help me eat more nutritious foods without the constant cycle of bloating/gerd/vomiting/diarrhea that leaves me anemic & undernourished. I invested in a bottle of these HUGELY OVERPRICED enzymes. Took all but a few @ three per meal. THEY HAD NO EFFECT. I've had better luck with at least one less expensive brand.In general, these types of supplements tend to be over hyped and over priced, and there is no logical system for labeling them to allow consumers to compare reading the label. So it's the guinea pig path for me. In addition, everyone's system is individual. Some here have said they found relief using these. I didn't. I will try another brand.

I have tried other digestive enzymes and these ones have been life changing for me. Although not all IBS symptoms go away after eating a high Fodmap food and taking these enzymes, I can clearly see the difference in my digestion. I am not afraid to eat out anymore if I take them with me.

After being gluten free for over 20 years, I can now enjoy things like artisan bread in moderation thanks to this product. If I eat too many wheat products in a day I will still suffer some symptoms so I have to be careful but just to be able to have a bite of birthday cake once in a while is really great.
