  • Excessive, bulky packaging

FODZYME earns positive reviews for noticeably reducing bloating and discomfort from FODMAP-heavy meals—garlic, onion, pasta, pizza, and dairy—while leaving flavor unchanged; several users report dramatic symptom relief and easier dining out. Reviews also surface drawbacks: the powder format can be awkward to sprinkle, dosing may require redosing after 30 minutes, and some users feel neutral or uncertain about efficacy, with complaints about excessive packaging.

  • Lovely product. I'm glad more products are being created to help out with gut issues because (in my opinion) prescriptions are not the answer, however, the price needs to be more accessible for everyone. I know a lot of time and research went into this product and i'm sure it ends up being cheaper than a prescription would be, but I'm just thinking of the large group of people out there that struggle with gut issues and can't afford to even see a doctor. I'm sure this could really help them.

  • I got this product through ThingDrop, and it's really good! It doesn't change the flavor of the food I'm eating, yet I feel great after adding it. I notice a positive change, and I can easily carry these in my pocket. I would definitely buy more!

  • I love the compact and elegant packaging, so eye catching! The powder is so fine that I tried to hard to ‘detect’ its flavor, but I never could, because who wants to eat taste altered food when you’ve made a meal just the way you like!😂 A serendipity, I think was the small, informative booklet included in the box of packets. I found the Proven by Science section to be very helpful! I have several allergies and it seems to be very effective in helping the uncontrollable bloating and pain I can get after eating. I plan to continue to use this product and try the ramp-up protocols page suggestions. Thanks for an effective, healthy product!

  • Overall perfectly fine. I don't have any major gut issues, just some bloat with dairy. Can't say I noticed a particular difference after having with some ice cream. I think it would be a good thing to try for those with more noticeable sensitivities.

  • This was a hard product to evaluate -- I am not sure if it made me feel better or helped my overall gut health unfortunately. I am definitely a fan of investing in gut health, so if you suffer from stomach issues, definitely give it a try.

  • I love the convenient packs. I also love that you can just add it it to your food which makes it so much easier than having to remember to take pills or mix a powder with water like some other products that claim similar benefits. I tried these out on some meals at home that normally make me bloat and I did feel like I experienced less bloating than usual! The packs are pretty pricey so while I would purchase them again, I would probably just stick to exclusively using them when I go out to eat.

  • got this through thingdrop and love how easy it is to carry around in my purse when I'm out. I will definitely be buying more!

  • Tried this on a drop, and I believe it worked! It's a bit pricey for me—granted, I don't have a restrictive diet or a sensitive tummy—BUT I think it's definitely worth the price for those living with a sensitive gut on the daily. I'd recommend it to my friends!

  • I tried fodzyme through a thingdrop, and I just think I would need more information (i.e., more samples) to be able to give an informed, honest review. The only obvious Con is just the amount of packaging (though I will admit, it's very well-made as far as packaging goes). For Pros, it's convenient and it truly doesn't affect the taste of the food you mix it into. The reason this is getting 3 stars for me is just that I'm feeling neutral about it, since I don't feel like I tried it enough times to be able to differentiate between if the product really works vs. if I just happen to be bloating less lately due to other factors, such as smaller portions, where I am in my menstrual cycle, or other life style things that could have had an impact during the time that I was testing this. I would be open to trying this more if I received it as a gift, but I just am not interested in spending so much money on something I'm unsure about.

  • I bought the sample of this through a thingdrop but didn’t feel like I could tell if it was helpful so I ended up buying a full jar. I have tried FODMAP eating in the past and appreciated the monash university certification. I have found I’m especially sensitive to garlic and onion and it’s in everything when eating out! Fodzyme has definitely helped the symptoms of gassiness and bloating that often came with these foods. Having recovered from colon cancer and had a colon resection surgery, I am especially sensitive and uncomfortable with the symptoms of these foods and am happy to have the effective relief of Fodzyme.

  • I have lactose intollerance and this was a great alternative to Lactaid (I'm not on a FODMAP diet). The product worked, it didn't impact taste, and worked really well when a pill wouldn't make sense (like ice cream). And the packaging it came in was so nice my kids fought over who could play with it. Seriously.

  • After being diagnosed with IBS and trying a low FODMAP diet for a while, FODZYME has been awesome to try. It’s very easy to use and add to any food. It’s been great to add some foods back into my diet!

  • Did a first run test by stirring it into a 16 oz. milkshake - as a lactose intolerant person, this would normally have me in shambles. I experienced no discomfort for the whole day, and it definitely made a noticeable difference in my enjoyment of life post-meal. I had a taste of the milkshake before and after mixing the Fodzyme into it, and the taste was exactly the same - completely imperceptible. I feel like this is more effective than lactase alone, but the powder format limits its usage. I would not be able to use it in parcel food items such as arancini and dumplings, or food items that are not meant to be mixed like hard ice cream. Perhaps I could, but it might be less effective considering the directed use instructions. I feel that it's probably more amazing of a product for those who are affected by the issues beyond lactose - I've given packets to my friends who do have these less-common food sensitivities and will update later on. It is a little pricey though, so I'm not sure if maybe this is a first-of-its kind innovation that has a staggering initial startup cost that needs to be covered by first few rounds of purchases. On my end, I will probably continue taking my lactase pills due to the cost limitations, but it is definitely an effective product.

  • This product is helpful but kind of annoying to carry and sprinkle over food. I would prefer a pill version of this.

  • Pros: - Tasteless and seamlessly blended with the food's texture - Beautiful packaging - Information booklet is extremely helpful - Helped me not balloon up after eating pasta and garlic bread Cons: - Made me feel self-conscious due to curious glances from fellow diners when I sprinkled the white powder on my food... Which I can understand, it's kind of sus lol 👀 - I was still bloated after eating garlic bread (but perhaps I needed to up the dose?) - It doesn't seem practical for food like dumplings or chicken nuggets, etc I need to figure out the right dose for myself, but I think this product could work really well for someone who experiences food sensitivity and serious bloating.

  • I think I am just like everyone else here, I'm not opposed to it but also feel neutral about it, I suffer with gut health and stomach issues, it's really hard to tell its long term effects as I feel like this is something that needs to be used longer. However, I did see some difference with the bloating, I definitely bloat less and feel less heavy after eating so that's still a plus and still giving this product a chance! :)

  • It's hard to tell if it works just trying it out a few times - especially, if like me, you are still somewhat unsure what are your 'problem' foods. But I can see the potential of this product. Didn't mind the powder at all and was all very easy to use.

  • Loved the packaging and how portable these little packets were! I tried fodzyme with a few different dairy products and did not have any uncomfortable bloating or stomach pains after eating lactose like I normally am. Will definitely be purchasing it again!

  • The small packaging is great! Fits perfectly on the go. The first time I tried it, I didn’t feel any different but I was also eating a new meal. Will definitely keep trying it on different foods to make sure it’s actually working for me.
