Inulin was found to be problematic as a fiber for people with IBD, who already have a dysfunctional gut bacteria population, as well as having more direct contact-type issues with substances in the colon.

Other studies on inulin, with people not having IBD, have shown it can be helpful, but also that it could be a possible concern for some, according to a prior study I posted some time back that pointed to limiting inulin to around 20 grams a day.

As a life-long garlic hater, I am not surprised by this.

Human beings were not designed to eat grains. We are omnivores, yes, but our teeth and digestive systems are designed for protein and fat optimization. Inulin and other fibers are not digestible despite everything we’ve been told.

So much for that plant based imitation meat.

I take high grade turmeric/cumin 1k milligrams a day but not for ibs.

That’s very interesting because the natural health community advocates for that to help heal the gut.

I wonder how much inulin triggers a flare. I imagine it might vary from person to person. I love my garlic, and I’m not quite ready to give it up just yet. I’m also on two different immunosuppressants, one for my transplant and Entyvio for my
IBD. He also suggested Benefiber for constipation. I’ll start out slow with that stuff. Good info to know. Thanks.

All I know is that if I eat anything with Inulin as a fiber booster, I will have serious gas, cramping and diarrhea.
