ecology compared to bifidobacteria. Prebiotics are described in terms of being

bifidogenic for this reason.

natural, " native " inulins contain some sugar that can be removed to yield a more

long-chain product. Most people do OK with " native " inulin though and the

highest inulin-containing foods are usually well tolerated too.

simple uninformed opinion, on this subject. Give more weight to the data than to

myths, give your prebiotic program a fair trial, even 2 years, and meanwhile

compare your personal experiences with those of many others on this particular

list and you'll be fine.
