Bloat-Free Fall – Featuring FODZYME®
How FODZYME Helps You Digest Fructans, GOS, and Lactose
As fall begins and seasonal comfort foods return, many individuals with IBS, SIBO, or functional GI disorders find themselves facing a renewed challenge. Hearty soups with garlic and onion, cozy dairy-based casseroles, and high-fiber baked goods may trigger unwanted symptoms—especially if they contain hard-to-digest FODMAPs. Thankfully, targeted digestive tools like FODZYME® can make the season more enjoyable.
Why Fall Foods Can Disrupt Digestion:
Autumn meals often include high-FODMAP ingredients like onion, garlic, wheat, and dairy.
Additionally, seasonal stress (new school year, work shifts) may heighten gut-brain signaling and exacerbate symptoms.
Gut motility may slow as routines change, impacting bloating and bowel regularity.
FODZYME®: A Supportive Tool for Digestive Relief
FODZYME® is a powdered enzyme supplement that breaks down the FODMAPs fructan, GOS/galactans, and lactose into more digestible carbohydrates—reducing the impact FODMAPs have on your gut.
By acting in the stomach, FODZYME helps process these compounds before they reach the colon, where they would otherwise ferment and produce excess gas.
In high-fidelity lab simulations, FODZYME degraded over 90% of inulin (a common fructan) within 30 minutes. Clinical case series data from IBS patients showed that:
73% experienced global symptom improvement
70% reported less bloating
76% had fewer daily disruptions
FODZYME enables food freedom and allows you to enjoy social occasions without dietary limits, helping you feel confident when navigating fall meals and gatherings.
Fall Gut Tips to Use Alongside FODZYME:
Add roasted carrots, squash, and zucchini to meals to support microbiota without fermentable triggers.
Stay hydrated with warm, low-FODMAP teas like peppermint or ginger.
Practice slow, mindful eating to enhance enzyme effectiveness and reduce post-meal discomfort.
Clinical Insight:
FODZYME is especially helpful in transitional seasons, when social meals and richer foods increase. It offers a targeted, evidence-based way to reduce gas, bloating, and gut disruption—without overly restricting your plate.
