Fodease – FODMAP Digestive Enzyme Powder

We target the same FODMAPs the category was built around. The differences are transparency and price.

Transparency: Every enzyme on our label is listed with its exact dose in milligrams and its activity unit (INU, GalU, FCC). No proprietary blends. If you want to know exactly what you're paying for, the answer is on the jar. Compare to what's published on theirs.

Price: About 31% less per jar than FODZYME at standard retail, same 60-serving format.

If a competitor's product works for you and the cost isn't a factor, we have no problem with that. We built Fodease for the rest of us.

Every serving (¼ tsp scoop, 750mg total) delivers three enzymes targeting the three FODMAPs that cause the most digestive trouble:

• Inulinase (Endo + Exo blend) — 80mg / 800 INU. Breaks down fructans, the FODMAP in garlic, onion, and onion-family vegetables. Wheat fructans have a second linkage type that inulinase only partially breaks down, so coverage there is incomplete.
• Alpha-Galactosidase — 80mg / 800 GalU. Breaks down GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides), the FODMAP in beans, lentils, and soy.
• Lactase — 300mg / 9,000 FCC. Breaks down lactose, the FODMAP in dairy.

Plus non-GMO corn dextrin as a stabilizing carrier. That's it. No fillers, no proprietary blends, no flow agents you can't pronounce.

Every batch is tested by an independent ISO 17025 accredited lab for heavy metals. See the full results and report.

One scoop, on your first bite. Sprinkle the powder directly on your food at the start of the meal, or mix it into the first bite. The enzymes start working as soon as they hit the food.

Larger meal or extra-sensitive day? Use two scoops. The formula is safe to adjust based on what you're eating.

Heat sensitive. Don't mix into food above 140°F (60°C). Heat denatures the enzymes and they stop working. Add it to the plate, not the pan.

Who it's for: Anyone managing IBS, low FODMAP, or general FODMAP sensitivity. Not a replacement for medical care — talk to your doctor if you're managing a diagnosed digestive condition.

FODMAPs are a group of short-chain carbohydrates that your small intestine doesn't absorb well. Instead, they travel to your large intestine where gut bacteria ferment them — which produces gas, bloating, and the rest of the symptoms you already know too well.

Most people with IBS react most strongly to three of them: fructans, GOS, and lactose. These are the FODMAPs in the foods you probably miss most — garlic, onion, wheat, dairy, beans.

Fodease delivers three enzymes that break these specific FODMAPs down before they reach the large intestine. The enzymes work on the food itself, in your stomach and small intestine, so the FODMAPs are broken down into simpler sugars your body can absorb normally — no fermentation, no gas, no symptoms.

This isn't a probiotic or a fiber supplement. It's a targeted digestive enzyme that does one specific job: break down the FODMAPs in the meal you just ate.

Does this work for polyols (sorbitol, mannitol)?
No. The enzymes that break down polyols require a cofactor (NAD+) that's destroyed in the gut before it can do its job. No oral supplement on the market — including ours — solves polyols. Fodease targets fructans, GOS, and lactose specifically.

Does it work for excess fructose?
Not in this powder format. Xylose isomerase, the enzyme that breaks down excess fructose, doesn't work in the acidic stomach environment when sprinkled directly on food. It needs to be delivered past the stomach to the small intestine, which means an enteric-coated capsule. We're exploring a separate capsule product that may address this. For now, Fodease targets fructans, GOS, and lactose.

Can I take Fodease with other supplements or medication?
Fodease is a food-grade enzyme that works on the food itself, not on your body. It shouldn't interact with other supplements or medication, but if you're on prescription drugs or managing a diagnosed condition, check with your doctor.

Is it safe to take every day?
Yes. Digestive enzymes are not absorbed into the bloodstream — they work in your gut and then break down with the rest of your food. There's no buildup, no dependency, and no known long-term issues with daily use.

Does it work for SIBO?
Fodease breaks down FODMAPs in food, but it doesn't treat the underlying bacterial overgrowth. If you have SIBO, work with your doctor on the root cause — Fodease is a tool for managing meals, not a treatment.

Is the jar recyclable?
Yes. The jar is #5 PP (polypropylene), recyclable in most curbside programs. The lid is the same material.

I lived with IBS for over a decade before finding FODZYME in 2022. It worked, but at $80 a month I was rationing it. I started buying the same enzymes directly from a manufacturer, tested the formula on myself and a few people in the FODMAP community, and built the version I wanted to buy.
