Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 The difference is in the chain lengths. Longer chain fructans feed fewer organisms. That was the very reason I got FOS- and sugar-removed inulin for my clients. Inulin at the store and online is " native " inulin; it contains less than 8% sugar, and two to four percent short chain fructans (DP<5). FOS is higher in both. Candida, diabetic and bowel dysbiosis clients may react unfavourably in the short-term and sometimes in the long-term too, to native inulin and FOS. Candida clients also have bowel dysbiosis. The pH is all wrong (or the candida wouldn't be there) and in fact the bowel is not acid enough to keep the numbers of the incorrect bowel flora down either. Teeccino contains roasted carob, barley, chicory root, almonds, figs, dates & natural coffee flavor. I don't agree with the barley or the dates myself for a candida client, but if you're willing to cheat a bit, well... you get 1 gram of inulin per cup.
