Microbiome Labs Fodmate - 120 Capsules

Food can often become a common trigger for digestive issues. Sometimes eliminating foods from your diet can help overcome occasional digestive problems. Trying to restrict too many foods such as a strict FODMAP diet can often be impractical and unsustainable over time.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. FODMAPs are fermentable fibers such as sugar alcohols and “short-chain” carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the digestive tract. The health benefits of consuming fermentable, prebiotic fibers are irrefutable. These fibers feed the microbiome and provide other documented health benefits. Yet, these fermentable fibers can be difficult to break down.

Eating these fibers in your food can cause:

  • Abdominal distention
  • Abdominal pain
  • Bloating
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Gas

A low FODMAP diet is intended as a short-term solution. People typically struggle with compliance on the very restrictive low FODMAP diet. It’s also confusing and frustrating. Plus, it comes with the threat of potentially starving the microbiome, as the diet is intentionally deprived of diverse fibers that feed the beneficial organisms in the gut. Thus, cutting out high FODMAP foods is not a practical and permanent solution.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

Alpha-galactosidase:

A common digestive enzyme that breaks down a
wide variety of complex carbohydrates, including
oligosaccharides often found as an active
ingredient in formulas that support relief from
occasional gas and flatulence. The amount of
alpha-galactosidase in FODMATETM is substantially
higher than most competitive formulas.

Lactase (Beta-galactosidase):

A common digestive enzyme that breaks down
lactose sugar (primarily found in cow’s milk). The
amount of beta-galactosidase in FODMATETM is
substantially higher than many similar formulas.

Proprietary enzyme blend:

• Endo and Exo Inulinase: Simultaneously breaks
down inulin and fructan fibers
• Glucose isomerase: Breaks down fructose sugars
• Pectinase: Breaks down fermentable pectin

Note: FODMATE does not contain enzymes to
break down polyols (the P in FODMAP), so sugar
alcohols and polyol foods may still provoke side
effects for sensitive individuals even while using
this product.
