Question for Duncan: Long-Chain Inulin

[Guest guest]

Duncan,

I am unfortunately part of the small percentage of people with

candida problems that cannot tolerate native inulin (i.e., NOW inulin

powder). It causes my specific candida symptoms to flare up too much.

Since last November, I have been attempting to continue to use the

native inulin besides the symptoms. I am now to the point where I

believe I need to switch to the long-chain inulin.

I have contacted Nealanders International (formerly known as Acatris)

and Cargill regarding purchasing a sack of the long-chain inulin

Oliggo-Fiber Excel (formerly know as Oliggo-Fiber LCHT (formerly

known as Cosucra LCHT inulin)). The bad news is that Cargill no

longer sells this product. Instead I was recommended to purchase the

FiberSure product, a medium-chain inulin, that is sold in local

stores. I assume that FiberSure would not work for those with

candida. What are your thoughts?

I have found a recommendation for another inulin product called

FrutaFit from Imperial Sensus that can be purchased in 8 oz

containers for $24.95 (not incl S & H) under the name EcoBloom. The

company claims that it is a medium and long chain inulin that is safe

for candida. However, I have read a previous post made by you that

FrutaFit does feed candida.

At this time, I seem to have no inulin options. I used to make

homemade cultured vegetables (CVs) in the past to get my daily dose

of probiotics. If I add the NOW inulin to the CV recipe, would

bifidus also grow in the mixture? Or does culturing vegetables only

produce lactobacillus?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

DW, Fibersure and Fuitafit are both native inulins, without the FOS

and sugar extracted.

Culturing vegetables produces a variety of organisms including

probiotics.
