Enzyme Supplement – 45 Capsules, so That You can Enjoy Fruits, Fruit Juices, Soft Drinks, and Sweets Again, Dietary Supplement, Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free

Completely honest, uncompensated review. My daughter has had fructose malabsorption for many years. She's now 22, and had given up on apple juice, orange juice, oranges, apples, any fruit she loved, several years ago. Every fruit, juice, etc, except bananas were ok. I convinced her to try these Fructaid pills, even though they are VERY expensive, and they actually worked! Poor kid said, "I didn't realize eating an apple wasn't supposed to make my whole body burn". What more could a mom ask for? A bit more cost efficient would be nice for sure, but it works for my kid, so I will keep buying it even though it is very pricey.

I was diagnosed with fructose intolerance by my physician, and had terrible gas. Researching fructose intolerance, I found that apples are particularly difficult for many with this condition, and my experience was the same. I found that taking the maximum dose of four capsules beforehand means I can eat apples again. For other fruits, I can take a smaller dose. It's important to follow the directions to take this about 10 minutes before eating fruit. If you take it at the same time as eating, it doesn't work. I also find that taking Fructaid before eating any kind of sugary food, not just fruit, is helpful. The product is expensive, but worth it to have the freedom to eat whatever I like.

Everyone will have a different amount that they need to help them absorb excess fructose. If you need only one, you're lucky and the cost isn't too bad. But if you need four to digest a piece of fruit without suffering like I do, then this is a very costly product.

I was diagnosed with fructose intolerance after taking a breath test to rule out SIBO. I was reluctant to purchase this product but I am so glad I did! I have found relief with 2 capsules right before I eat my trigger fruits - apples, blackberries and peaches. I still have to keep the portions in mind but I can't believe how the abdominal bloating and gas production has been reduced so significantly.

In the USA there is such a lack of knowledge on fructose malabsorption (FM). So many people have been told they have IBS when really they have FM. In Europe this product is marketed the way lactose intolerance supplements are in the USA. Only recently have I been able to find Fructaid in the USA. I would love to know why the manufacturer doesn’t promote this in the states. It works amazing.*** I am updating this review for 2021, from 5 stars to 1. I received my newest order and see the capsules decreased from 200 mg to 160 mg per 4, (they also now appear to be yellow pellets inside the capsule and not the white power like all of my previous orders). There are no updates about any changes here on Amazon nor on their USA website. I had some questions about this so I contacted the company through their website and never received a response. I have tried to call them at the listed toll free number several times but it is a non working line. I even emailed them several times and never received a response. As someone who can only use the USA version of this product due to an allergy I have with an inactive ingredient in the version sold in other countries, I need to confirm some things ahead of using this product, especially now that the capsules now look very much like the ones they sell abroad which is the version I cannot take. Why would a company list a website and email address and publish a phone number only to never respond. That makes me lose trust with them. Given this I will be returning my order and having to try a new brand. What a shame…

Onions are in everything. Eating out is difficult when you can’t digest them, and some of us just can’t without suffering serious digestive consequences. There are two sugars in onions that can be hard to digest: alpha-galactose and fructo-ogliosaccharides. The first is easily handled with beano (via alpha-galactosidase enzyme). Until Fructaid, I had yet to find a supplemental enzyme to aid digestion of fructans in onions and similar vegetables. After 30 years of avoiding all foods with onions, leeks, shallots, scallions, etc, I can now finally eat them with little to no consequences. This product works great if you suffer from the issues it’s created to solve. I’m very happy with the results: I just wish it was easier to find locally.

I believe the product is very good. however in ordering it this time, i got so many mixed messages, I wasn't sure what I would be getting. First, i was told there were 3 bottles, i decided to order 2, to give another person a chance to get one. Then I was told they were all gone and didn't know when more would come in. Then, I was told I could get the 2 I wanted, then there would be no more. And a statement came with a price for 3. And when the order came, I did actually get 3. I never really ordered 3.

Having IBS, I have to be very careful when I eat/drink foods with more fructose than glucose, AKA monosaccharides. I get very bad, painful cramps that are debilitating. While I usually avoid these foods altogether, when I do want/have to eat them, these supplements allow them to break down in my guts without much pain! You will need to experiment to find the right dose for you, but when I've used them they have been great.
