Re:Inulin reasonable ordering

[Guest guest]

Is taking inulin better than taking probiotics or do you need to take

both???

You might want to check out the research that showed

inulin, an indigestible soluble fiber that also feeds

good bowel bacteria so improves digestion, also

reduces glucose swings, protects the liver, and

improves lipid levels. I've been supporting diabetics

and people with bowel disorders for years with it.

Flax doesn't accomplish all that, yet there's more,

with references, here on this science page:

(Nix the oatmeal; it's fulla carbs)

Aout the thread " carbs in whey " , remember some of those sugars are

essential to life; whey contains three glyconutrients, and the

lactose trace won't pose a problem if you have inulin in your diet.

Inulin has eliminated lactose intolerance in the research and in

practice

SeaLady, you can get probiotics that are microblended with whole foods

which provide inulin in the same capsule.

Inulin feeds healthy gut bacteria, so they proliferate. I take both

probiotics and prebiotics (inulin) which make for much fluffier bowel

movements.

What brand(s) do you recommend? And where is it offered?

I like NOW brand inulin which I buy from Vitaglo

http://www.vitaglo.com/2944.html

Free shipping if order totals $50 or more, so I always put together a

big order rather than ordering just one or two items.

Any other brands? How about Chicolin (Wolfe Clinic).

I know nothing about brands I do not use. NOW is low in non-fiber

carbs which is important to me as a diabetic. I have not explored

alternative sources.

I just read on another list, an article about NOW, Vitaminshoppe, Jarrow

and other large companies being part and parcel fo the push for tighter

restrictions on vitamins, etc. I don't like that at all, though I have

always liked NOW and Jarrow products. I'd like to find alternative

products from smaller companies, who are not part of the NPA.

If I can't find substitutes, I'm not sure how I will decide if I will

continue purchasing from the big guys or not.

Per the discussion and the info I looked up and on Duncan's page - all of

the probiotics I have bought do not have all of the right kind in them - I

asked at the health food store if I should also buy inulin and she said the

probiotic I had was good. But it doesn't have the " B " type of bacteria in

it - forgive me but there is no hope of me spelling that word!! Lol

So there is a type of probiotic that has both in it??? Are you referred to

a specific brand??? I tried to read each and every brand that they had.

Try MEGA FLORA it has 14 strains. I use it specially

when my stomach grumbles. Together with this I also

take Quantum Digest for enzymes. Both and staying

away from acidic food has helped me a lot. My doc

gave me AcipHex. Oh boy, when i looked that med up

the FDA page said: '99.98% of radioactive was

excreted in the urine of (mice). Huh, radioactive? I

did not take that medicine and just used the above.
