I have been using this product for over ten years. I add it to my morning coffee/tea or glass of water. Within an hour it starts off my morning abolitions perfectly. My mothers side of the family has always suffered from something they call 'lazy bowel' syndrome meaning most of them suffered boating, constipation and the usually problems associated with not going regularly to the toilet. No one has suffered serious digestive system problems. I suffer the same 'syndrome' and have done since early teens, and this causes me indigestion. I use a product called Inulin, one large lump in my chose of liquid. I've tried loads of other different products to help but Inulin seems to be the one my body tolerates and gets things moving.

Fart,Fart, Fart! If you are doing prebiotics, you need to be alone at work or at home.

I have trusted Jarrow's products for many years, and continue to do so. My experience with the Jarrow-dophilus with FOS was that my depression became worse. I even started getting a bit paranoid. I had been taking the FOS for about a month. I went off of it, and I felt better. Now, I have to add that I already have a chemical imbalance and take an SSRI along with other medications for depression / mood swings. I suspect that the FOS product interferes somehow with my meds. Maybe someday, somewhere, a study will be done. Then I can read about why I had this reaction. Read More Read Less

I bought a can of Ensure which mother didn't like. So I added it to my coffee as breakfast. I had the worst case of diverticulitis! Then I read the label "contains FOS which may support a healthy digestive system, a key component of immune defense."

I have cirrhosis, MHE and IBS. After three weeks of FOS 15g per day plus one capsule of probiotic (broad spectrum 10 billion from Holland and Barrett), the IBS has improved to the point no loperamide needed at all, and my tests for MLE have now become well sub-clinical, was just over borderline. Shall continue.
