How does FODZYME® compare to the low-FODMAP diet?Updated a month ago

FODZYME® and the low-FODMAP diet are two different approaches to managing FODMAP-related digestive symptoms. FODZYME® works by enzymatically breaking down specific FODMAPs as you eat, allowing you to enjoy high-FODMAP foods without triggering symptoms. It works immediately, providing flexibility to eat a wider variety of foods, even in social situations, while supporting a more balanced and nutritionally complete diet.

The low-FODMAP diet, on the other hand, requires significantly reducing or eliminating high-FODMAP foods, which can take weeks to show results. It demands careful meal planning and food monitoring and can be challenging to follow long-term. Prolonged restriction of FODMAPs may also negatively affect the gut microbiome and increase the risk of nutritional deficiencies if not carefully managed.

FODZYME® offers a more convenient and sustainable option for long-term use, with no known adverse effects, while the low-FODMAP diet is typically recommended for short-term symptom identification and is best done under the guidance of a dietitian.
