PROPRIETARY ENZYME BLENDFODMATE™ is an innovative enzyme formula designed for short-term use that can help support digestive health, including relief from occasional cramping, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and constipation that may result from the consumption of high FODMAP foods.FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. FODMAPs are fermentable fibres such as sugar alcohols and “short-chain” carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the digestive tract. The health benefits of consuming fermentable, prebiotic fibres are irrefutable. These fibres feed the microbiome and provide other documented health benefits. Yet, these fermentable fibres can be difficult to break down.Thus, intake can lead to issues such as: Abdominal distention Abdominal pain Bloating Constipation Diarrhoea 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 fibres that feed the beneficial organisms in the gut. Thus, cutting out high FODMAP foods is not a practical and permanent solution.
