I started taking this based on you mentioning having doing the same a couple years ago. I had IBS (or at least my Dr suggested as much?) 5-6 days a weeks I’d wake up and the plumbing was like I had drank Tijuana water. This had been going on for 6+ months. I tried a non dairy diet, no help, no alcohol, nope. Then started Inulin, only a teaspoon a day along with some OTC fiber pills in the morning. I’m 90% better and have sustained that level for well over a year. I can’t think of any other changes that could explain the improvement.
