Meal prep and pre-treating foodsUpdated 9 hours ago

Planning ahead? You can pre-treat certain foods with FODZYME so the enzymes get a head start on breaking down FODMAPs before you eat. This includes liquid, creamy, or mushy foods. Solid or dry foods like bread, pizza, or crackers should not be pre-treated, as the enzymes need direct, even contact with FODMAPs.

Pre-treating works best when FODZYME can mix evenly throughout the food. Good options include:

• Smoothies and drinks
• Sauces and dressings
• Dips and spreads
• Soups, broths, and purees
• Pastes or blended foods

How to pre-treat food

Pre-treating allows the enzymes time to break down FODMAPs before you eat. Here's how to do it:

• Mix the correct dose of FODZYME evenly into the food (1 scoop or stick pack per serving)
• Let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or up to 24 hours if refrigerated
• Store as you normally would until ready to eat

Once the food is pre-treated, you can eat it as-is or gently reheat if needed.

Reheating pre-treated foods

Reheating is fine after pre-treating. The enzymes will have already done their job breaking down fructans, GOS, and lactose. Gentle reheating won’t undo that process as long as FODZYME wasn’t exposed to high heat during pre-treatment.

FODZYME works with cold, warm, and hot foods, as long as the temperature stays below 140°F (60°C). Do not cook or bake with FODZYME as high heat deactivates the enzymes.
