FAQ
About Fodease
What is Fodease?
Fodease is a digestive enzyme supplement made for people eating a low-FODMAP way. Each ¼-teaspoon scoop blends enzymes that target three of the most common FODMAP groups — fructans, GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides), and lactose — to help break them down in food before they reach the gut and ferment. It’s a flavorless powder you stir into or sprinkle onto your meal.
Who is Fodease for?
It’s made for people who are sensitive to FODMAPs and want more flexibility around trigger foods like garlic, onion, wheat, beans, lentils, and dairy. It’s a tool to support a low-FODMAP lifestyle — not a replacement for guidance from your doctor or dietitian, and not a treatment for any medical condition.
How do I take it?
Add one scoop (¼ tsp) with the first few bites of a FODMAP-containing meal. Mix it into your food or a cold or room-temperature drink. Don’t stir it into very hot food or beverages — heat breaks enzymes down before they can do their job.
Does it have a taste?
No. It’s a flavorless, odorless powder designed to disappear into whatever you’re eating.
What’s Inside
What’s actually in Fodease?
Everything, in full — no “proprietary blend.” Per ¼-tsp serving:
- Inulinase blend — 80 mg (800 INU): targets fructans (garlic, onion, wheat)
- Alpha-galactosidase — 80 mg (800 GalU): targets GOS (beans, lentils, legumes)
- Lactase — 300 mg (9,000 FCC): targets lactose (dairy)
- Dextrin — 290 mg: carrier that keeps the enzymes stable and easy to dose
Why do you publish activity units (INU, GalU, FCC)?
Because milligrams alone don’t tell you how much an enzyme actually does. Activity units measure working strength, and they’re the honest way to show potency. A lot of enzyme products list only milligrams or hide everything inside a “proprietary blend.” We’d rather show our work and let you compare.
Which FODMAPs does Fodease NOT cover?
We’re upfront about this: Fodease does not break down polyols (sorbitol, mannitol) or excess fructose.
- Polyols: there’s no enzyme that reliably breaks these down in the gut — the chemistry doesn’t work in supplement form, for anyone.
- Fructose: the enzyme for fructose (xylose isomerase) needs a near-neutral pH to work, which stomach acid disrupts — so it isn’t effective in a powder you take with food.
If a product claims a single powder handles every FODMAP group, that’s overstating what enzymes can currently do.
Is it Non-GMO, dairy-free, and gluten-free?
Yes — Fodease is Non-GMO, dairy-free, and gluten-free. (The lactase enzyme helps break down lactose; it is not a dairy ingredient itself.)
How It Compares
How is Fodease different from FODZYME?
Same format — a jar with a scoop, 60 servings — and two differences we’ll stand behind:
- Full transparency. We publish the complete activity units for every enzyme in the formula. No proprietary blend.
- Price. $55 per jar versus $79.99, jar for jar.
Can you compare your potency to other brands?
We can only compare against numbers that are public, and not every brand publishes full activity units. So rather than guess at what’s in someone else’s formula, we publish ours completely — what’s in it, and how strong each enzyme is — and let you make the comparison yourself.
Safety & Suitability
Is it safe to take with every meal?
Digestive enzymes like these are generally well tolerated. That said, Fodease is a dietary supplement, not medical advice — if you have a diagnosed digestive condition, take medications, or have other health concerns, talk to your healthcare provider about what’s right for you.
Can I take it if I’m pregnant, nursing, or giving it to a child?
Please check with your doctor first. We don’t make recommendations for pregnancy, nursing, or children without a healthcare provider’s input.
Will it interfere with my low-FODMAP diet or elimination phase?
Fodease is meant to add flexibility, not to replace the structure of an elimination-and-reintroduction process. If you’re actively working through that process with a dietitian, follow their guidance on when and how to use an enzyme supplement.
Ordering, Shipping & Subscriptions
When will my order ship?
Fodease is currently available for pre-order, with orders shipping mid-June 2026. You’ll get a confirmation now and a shipping notice when your jar is on its way.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is free on every order, to all 50 U.S. states — including Hawaii and Alaska — via USPS Ground Advantage.
Is there a subscription option?
Yes. You can subscribe monthly and save $10 per jar ($45 vs. $55), or order one-time with no commitment. You can change, pause, or cancel a subscription anytime.
How should I store it?
Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dry place. Reseal after each use to keep the enzymes stable.
What’s your return policy?
See our Refund Policy for full details. If something’s wrong with your order, email us at contact@fodease.com and we’ll make it right.
Certifications
Is Fodease FODMAP-certified?
We’ve begun the certification process. One important thing to understand: FODMAP certification programs test whether a product itself is low in FODMAPs — they don’t test whether an enzyme breaks FODMAPs down in food. So certification and what Fodease does are two different things, and we’d rather be clear about that than imply otherwise.
