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.
For constipation, I’ve read that psyllium is our best bet, but it is not thought to help make short chain fatty acids, of consequence.
It does reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, and keep us regular, though. However, you still need those other fibers for those short chain fatty acids that can help so much, produced by gut bacteria.
Inulin, 4-8g / day in the form of gummies hasn’t triggered a flare for me yet after about two months of using it. Has been helping matters. Also take psyllium type fiber. And I take pro and pre biotics separately.
Powdered vitamin C, or capsules, is good for constipation...start slow. I do not understand why docs do not recommend.
