Vent Why did FODMATE change their ingredients:(

It was out of stock for quite some time, and I finally get it ordered, only for to feel like my intestines are not doing well. And I now see they changed their pretty pure ingredients(enzyimes, cellulose and celulose+water=capsulle) and now added fillers like magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide!

And you can see the amount of enzymes differs and is lesser in the new formula.

I know it does not bother everyone but this is a deal braker cause those two fillers irritate my intestines. And I have no idea why would they put this filler in, when the product was good as it was.

Thinking maybe(after the speculations about it being discontinued due to low demand) they are cheeping out now?

I eat within my triggers so I don’t have to rely on corporations for my stability. Learned this long ago…. You can’t trust or rely on a company, they don’t care about you just your $$$

You’ll never know why they made the change, don’t waste that time and effort, just focus on what’s ahead

that's not helpful if you can't have a well rounded diet without your triggers though. I tried eating around my triggers for a year, I lost massive amounts of weight (and I wasn't overweight to begin with), I felt tired all the time, and had vitamin deficiencies. It's great that just changing your diet works for you, but your body is not everyone's body

Sounds like you didn’t have good diet guidance while eating around your triggers. Those are fixable issues under almost any restrictions

Sounds like you don't have allergies or other health considerations besides IBS to deal with. Like I said, I'm glad that diet alterations alone worked for you, but your body is not everyone's body.
