Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Isn't buckwheat a grain? So we cant eat grains now either? Surely we're not meant to subsist solely on doses of inulin we buy from you? Re: Re: Inulin About the buckwheat article, which says correctly enough that buckwheat is a prebiotic..... Sure it's a prebiotic, but natural prebiotics contain a lot of natural sugars and starches that the yeast and unwanted bacteria will thank you for, very much! Not only that, but most prebiotics also contain enough short-chained FOS that many unwanted bacteria can use. Following advice like " eat buckwheat " leads into the trap of continued bowel dysbiosis, the double whammy you want to avoid, that a lot of practitioners don't know about yet. If you use these foods at all, which is unwise for a candida patient, you'd have to use sugar-free inulin to try and provide a preponderance of prebiotic that only the bifidobacteria and to a certain extent, lactobacilli, can eat.

I used to have terrible gas when I was on a low-fat diet many years ago. When I first switched to low-carb I noticed a dramatic reduction in gas, but I used to cheat on the weekends and the gas would come back quickly, especially with the nasty low-carb ice cream I used to eat before I learned about NN-NT Can you eat butter and coconut oil? These coupled with good pastured meats and low-starch vegetables (the one you and DD tolerate) might be worth a try. Minimize the grains and legumes, though you may not need to eliminate them.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I quit having those grains and legumes problems after I went paleo. Seems like inulin is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, if you are not suited to grains and legumes and that's the sinking ship.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I can only quote from personal experience. Last summer I had a bad reaction to an antibiotic which gave me stomach pain and diarrhoea. This went on and on and I got really depressed as I just never felt well. About a month ago I started taking inulin. I took a teaspoon and it didn't agree with me at all. Everything seemed to get worse so I cut right back and took 1/4 teaspoon which was fine and then gradually increased it. I also started eating kefir. I have now worked up to one teaspoon of inulin which I take with my breakfast and then have kefir in the afternoon. My stomach pains have gone and I no longer have diarrhoea. It's great! I still have slight bloating but am hopeful this will go with time.
