How do I know if FODZYME is working?Updated a month ago
FODZYME helps manage digestive symptoms related to the FODMAPs fructan, GOS and lactose. Symptoms commonly triggered by these FODMAPs include:
- Gas
- Bloating
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
However, digestive issues unrelated to FODMAPs may still occur. Examples of symptoms rarely related to FODMAPs are:
- Nausea
- Acid reflux/heartburn
- Burping/belching
- Urgency right after meals
In addition to the type of digestive symptoms, the timing of symptoms can be a helpful clue in understanding how FODZYME is helping you tolerate personal food triggers. It takes 4-8 hours for FODMAPs in a meal to reach the large intestine, where they are fermented and trigger digestive distress.
Meals that cause symptoms 4-8 hours after a meal are likely due to the FODMAPs. If you feel well several hours after eating a high FODMAP food with FODZYME, this is a sign FODZYME is helping you tolerate FODMAPs.
It can take at least a week of regular use with a diverse range of FODMAP-containing foods to fully understand how FODZYME helps you tolerate FODMAPs. If you're not familiar with your FODMAP triggers yet, simply sprinkle 1 dose of FODZYME on every meal for 1 week or so and note if your symptoms improve.
In sum, if FODZYME is working for you you will feel a significant reduction in gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and/or changes in bowel habits 4-8 hours after a high-FODMAP meal compared to what you would normally experience with a similar meal.
