Doug ___________________________________________________ Hi Doug, That is correct, I simply gave up using Inulin altogether. All it did was create bloating and gas. It was like pouring gasoline onto the fire. I quit taking Inulin. But when I started adding about 2 teaspoons daily of Virgin Coconut Oil to my diet I noticed I immediately began to feel better, the bloating and gas started to subside. After about 3-4 weeks it completely eliminated the bloating and gas problems. After trying different things for at least 10 years the Virgin Coconut Oil is the only thing I have found that has really cured the problem for me. Tropical Traditions is the brand I recommend. After feeling so much better from adding the coconut oil to my diet it gave me the willpower to cut sugar out of my diet and now I feel even better. The coconut oil seemed to reduce my cravings for sugar. Best Regards, Todd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What can I do to pass the gas so it does not put alot of pressure on my hernias where they sewed me up without mesh.? Thanks Doug ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _____ One thing that really helped me was adding a small amount of Virgin Coconut Oil to my diet. I tried using Inulin and all it did was create bloating and tons of gas. The problem with gas never went away using Inulin. I had to give up using it. As soon as I started to add 2 teaspoons of Virgin Coconut Oil to my diet daily I immediately started to feel better and the gas problem subsided after about one week. That is the only thing I have tried that seemed to normalize my gut. I read that Coconut oil does help kill the bacteria that causes Candidiasis but encourages good bacteria. Apparently not everyone is able to tolerate Inulin. The same might be said for Virgin Coconut Oil but in my case it worked very well for me.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2011 I have had good luck using - and this surprised me! - chia seeds, sold online and in health food stores as Salba or Chia. They aren't as strong tasting as flax, and have lots of fibre and Omega 3's. You can just sprinkle them on top of food, but I like them best stirred into some sf vanilla or chocolate almond milk with a bit of vanilla and sweetener (I use stevia, but whatever you like best would work.) If you let it sit in the fridge for a half hour or so, (and stir it a couple times) the seeds absorb the liquid, swell up and gel a bit - and it tastes like rice or tapioca pudding to me. Having said that, I also take a stool softener (generic of Colace) 1x a day, a fibre tablet 3x a day and Miralax when all else fails, but this is rare.Good luck!Margo On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 2:00 PM, <movie_mommy@...> wrote: Okay the Doctor's are telling me I need more fiber!!

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2011 Hi, I tried it and it NEVER worked. I highly suggest you try Miralax instead. It really works well, and keeps you regular. Not side effects and it is NOT habit forming. It is tasteless so you can mix it with almost any liquids. I mix mine with my protein drink every morning. I put my protein drink and some ice cubes and the Miralax in the blender. Try it. I buy mine at Costco and I buy their brand. Wal-mart has their own brand too!
