HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fodmap DPE by Arthur Andrew Medical

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 14 active ingredients.
  • “FODMAP DPE Proprietary Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (532 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Digestive Spore Probiotics Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (40 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Fodmap DPE contains 14 active ingredients: a mix of digestive enzymes (amylase, lactase, cellulase, invertase, glucoamylase, xylanase, pectinase, maltase, beta-glucanase, hemicellulase, diastase, and alpha-galactosidase) and probiotic organisms (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus clausii). The enzymes are designed to break down different carbohydrates and fiber; lactase specifically helps with milk sugar (lactose), while the others target other sugars and complex carbs.

The probiotics add beneficial live bacteria to support digestive health. The capsule also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digest fermentable foods and support digestive comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Flatulence, Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Lactose intolerance, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Constipation — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
  • Also on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, and more.

Lactase in this product is effective for lactose intolerance—it breaks down milk sugar so you can digest dairy without discomfort. Bacillus subtilis has possibly effective evidence for antibiotic-associated diarrhea (diarrhea that develops after you take antibiotics).

For the other uses listed—prematurity and colic for lactase, and athletic performance, cirrhosis, constipation, eczema, and diabetes for Bacillus subtilis—the evidence isn't strong enough to rate. We hold no effectiveness data for the other 12 enzyme and probiotic ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactase Bacillus Subtilis

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lactase is generally well tolerated when used as directed and is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. Rarely, a worker exposed to powdered lactase developed an allergic reaction (contact rash and nasal-eye allergy symptoms), so if you have a known lactase allergy, skip this product.

Bacillus subtilis is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though one person in a trial reported a headache and diarrhea has been reported rarely. Very rarely, people with severely weakened immune systems who consumed large amounts of fermented soybeans containing a related Bacillus strain developed serious bloodstream or brain infections; this is extremely uncommon and the product should be avoided in people with compromised immunity unless a doctor advises otherwise.

Limited safety data exists overall, so check with your doctor before use.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bacillus Subtilis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 182 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take antibiotics, check with your pharmacist about timing. The Bacillus subtilis in this product may lose effectiveness if you take antibiotics at the same time.

For all other medications, we could not check the other 12 ingredients, so run your exact drug names through the interaction tool below before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help if you have trouble digesting lactose or want enzyme and probiotic support for general digestion. If you take antibiotics, separate them from this supplement by a few hours—the antibiotics can kill the live probiotics.

If you have a weakened immune system or are pregnant, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Formula

FODMAP DPE is a specialized blend of spore-forming probiotics and digestive enzymes that assists the body in properly digesting highly fermentable foods, commonly known as FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols). Garlic, onions, apples, and many other nutrient dense foods can be very hard for some to digest. By limiting digestive fermentation, FODMAP DPE eases symptoms like gas, bloating, constipation and other digestive discomforts that occur from enjoying FODMAP foods.

Star-K (Kosher)

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Bacillus subtilis with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. subtilis.
Since B. subtilis preparations usually contain live and active organisms, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. subtilis preparations by at least 2 hours.

Fodmap DPE by Arthur Andrew Medical: Common Questions

Does Fodmap DPE by Arthur Andrew Medical interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fodmap DPE has a known interaction with 182 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Fodmap DPE contains 14 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help my lactose intolerance?
Yes, lactase is effective for lactose intolerance. It breaks down the milk sugar so your body can handle dairy products better. Just take it with your first bite of dairy.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lactase is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation, but Bacillus subtilis has limited safety data—we don't have enough information to say one way or the other. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide whether it's right for you.
What if I'm allergic to milk?
If you're allergic to milk protein, this product should still be safe—lactase is an enzyme that breaks down milk sugar, not milk protein. But if you've ever had an allergic reaction to lactase itself (very rare), avoid this product and let your pharmacist know.
Is there anything else in here besides enzymes and probiotics?
The capsule contains cellulose, which is a common inactive filler. That's it—no other fillers or additives.
Does this help with bloating and gas from beans?
Alpha-galactosidase (one of the enzymes in this product) is designed to help break down carbs in beans and legumes that often cause gas. We don't have specific effectiveness data on file for it in this product, but that's its intended use—ask your pharmacist if it might work for your situation.
What if I take antibiotics while using this?
The Bacillus subtilis probiotic in this product may not work as well if you take antibiotics at the same time, since antibiotics can kill the live organisms. If you need antibiotics, take them a few hours apart from this supplement—your pharmacist can help you space them out.
