FODMAP DPE

FODMAP DPE

FODMAP DPE by Arthur Andrew Medical (Digestive Probiotics and Enzymes) is a blend of specialized enzymes and spore-forming probiotics that assists the body in properly digesting highly fermentable foods, commonly known as FODMAPs.

If you suffer from occasional bouts of bloating, belching, discomfort or even diarrhea following meals, you may be sensitive to common sugars that easily ferment in the digestive system. These sugars are referred to as FODMAPs. The simplest solution would be to eliminate these foods from your diet, but any type of elimination diet can be difficult.

Ingredients

Alpha Galactosidase

The primary enzyme used in popular gas-relief products, alpha galactosidase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down complex sugars into simple sugars. This allows certain gas-producing foods such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes to become more easily digestible. This enzyme is important for Oligosaccharides, the “O” in the title.

Amylase

An enzyme which partially breaks starch down into maltose. Amylase is naturally excreted from the pancreas and saliva. This enzyme is important for Monosaccharides, the “M” in the title.

Glucoamylase

Converts starch into sugar like amylase, but is most active in a highly acidic pH. The inclusion of this component allows for many sugars to be broken down prior to exiting the stomach. This enzyme is important for Monosaccharides, the “M” in the title.

Lactase

The enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the milk sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. This enzyme is important for disaccharides, the “D” in the title.

Cellulase

An enzyme that digests cellulose, or plant fiber. Most animals (including humans) do not produce cellulase naturally and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material without supplementation of the enzyme.

Xylanase

An enzyme with the ability to digest the polysaccharide xylan into xylose, which is a primary component of plant cell walls. There is some evidence that xylanase can help support the breakdown of certain artificial sweeteners and preservatives.

Hemicellulase

Breaks down hemicellulose, a type of polysaccharide that is more complex than simple sugar and present along with cellulose in all plant cell walls.

Pectinase

Breaks down pectin which is a robust component of plant cell walls. Pectin itself is not a culprit, but it is found in many high-FODMAP foods and is fermentable. This enzyme helps break down fermentable foods, the “F” that may not otherwise be classified as high-FODMAP foods.

Diastase

Breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules known as maltose and glucose. This enzyme helps support the digestion of both mono and disaccharides, the “D” and “M” of the title.

Maltase

Breaks down maltose into glucose, which is required for the body to be able to utilize the sugar as energy. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in the title.

Invertase

Also known as sucrase, is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose (a disaccharide) into its glucose and fructose building blocks. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in the title.

Beta Glucanase

Breaks down glycosidic bonds, which is essentially a bond that holds a molecule of sugar to a molecule of another carbohydrate. This enzyme is important for Disaccharides, the “D” in the title.

FODMAPs are typically found in some of the most nutritious fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Fortunately, this product was created to eliminate the worry of whether or not a meal may result in distress.

FODMAP DPE Probiotic Blend

A blend of two powerful spore-based probiotics that can assist in balancing and restoring a healthy microbiome. Although there aren’t any digestive enzymes that directly break down polyols, the “P” in FODMAPs which are primainly contained in “Sugar Free” products, many sufferers have gut microbiome imbalances that may contribute to Polyol intolerance.

The combination of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus clausii can help restore gut balance and support regularity by protecting against occasional constipation and diarrhea. In fact, completely eliminating FODMAPs is likely impossible, or at least improbable to accomplish while maintaining a well-balanced diet.

Directions

Take FODMAP DPE with 8 oz of water at the beginning of each FODMAP containing meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Additional FODMAP DPE capsules may be taken for larger meals or during periods of occasional discomfort. For best results, please refer to the guide below or as directed by one of our health coach professionals.

• Daily Maintenance: 1 to 2 FODMAP DPE capsules per meal.

Storage

Store in a cool dry place with lid tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.
