FODMAPs are sugars found in our diet which are very highly fermentable in the human digestive tract. This can cause bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort for people sensitive to them. Many people sensitive to FODMAPs simply avoid the problematic foods, however, this can limit variety in the diet and is not always easy to do. Especially since FODMAPs are found in a lot of nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes.

FODMAPS include fermentable oligosaccharides (including fructans), disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. They cause digestive issues because these short-chain carbohydrates are not well-digested and can remain partially undigested as they transit through the digestive tract. Once they encounter the gut bacteria they are fermented by them which then produces gas and a whole host of digestive symptoms.

FODMAP DPE is a blend of specific digestive enzymes that help to break down these easily fermentable carbohydrates thus reducing the chance they will ferment in the intestines and cause distress. These sugar-digesting enzymes break down the bonds of the carbohydrates. Once sugars are broken down into smaller molecules, they are no longer digestive irritants. FODMAP DPE covers a very broad range of FODMAP irritants. The blend also includes alpha-galactosidase which is widely considered one of the premier enzymes for breaking down fructans. Arthur Andrew Medical created this product to help minimise concerns about whether a particular food will cause discomfort.

Who Can Benefit from FODMAP DPE?

Those intolerant to FODMAPs.

Vegetarians and vegans - a plant-based diet can contain a lot of foods with highly fermentable carbohydrates in them.

Those who consider themselves foodies - enjoy a larger range of foods without the occasional digestive discomfort.

Arthur Andrew Medical FODMAP DPE supports:

Digestive comfort.

Healthy digestive function, particularly of FODMAP-rich foods.

Reduced anxiety around eating out.
