Re: Inulin - Side effects to expect

[Guest guest]

Hi Duncan

Thanks for the information, could you possibly advise on one other

thing. I have issues with ankylosing spondylitis due to the

klebsiella. Normally when I eat anything e.g starch I would get some

pain in my back. With Inulin I don't, that suggests to me it is not

feeding it but I do get slightly loose stools. Do you know if this

normal with increased good bacteria correcting dysbiosis and it

stablises after time? To begin with I have only started with a

probiotic containing inulin from chicory root rather than pure inulin

powder, just to start slowly. The only other thing it could be is the

citrobacter which likes all sorts of sugar and is known for causing

diarrhea.

Thanks

Phil

Inulin is also a soluble fiber so it increases fecal bulking. Like

any fiber it does not cause firm stools as such unless it's also

correcting diarrhea by virtue of being a prebiotic.

If your loose stool is caused by citrobacter eating the 10% sugar,

after awhile it will go away as bifidobacteria and to a lesser extent

lactobacilli catch up.
