I love the cleansing feeling and effortless movements that come after drinking psyllium fiber, but I don't love how gloopy and overly sweetened commonly available psyllium fiber products are. I especially dislike the "gotta-go-RIGHT-NOW" feeling that hits the morning after. My partner bought inulin fiber for me, not knowing there was any difference between fibers, and wow I really like this stuff!...

It was AWFUL!!!! It made me physically ill. I had a terrible headache that lasted two days, horrible intestinal gas that was almost constant and it lasted four days, I had excruciating pain across the middle area of my back caused by the constant production of the excessive gas, I had an overly bloated stomach and gut from the excessive gas, I was unable to go out in public because of the "expl...

I'm adding inulin from orafti to my diet and consume probiotics from life space, i didn't experience bloating or cramps that other people mention, i think you have to add probiotic if you consume inulin since inulin feed all good and bad bacteria, so if you only add inulin without probiotic that contain good bacteria it might cause bad bacteria also flourish in your gut

Not on inulin medication. Only using powder form as a sweetener. I have Crohn’s disease and IBD and had no idea why my horrible bowel condition had changed for the better. I’m hoping it is the inulin because this has been life changing for me.

It seemed to help but I was feeling quite hyper? I also had cramping and some rectal bleeding. I do have issues with other fiber products but with MS this issue with constipation is ongoing for me.

Started almost a month ago. I am now regular and little to no pain now. I started off slow, mixing this with fiber in milk, 2x a day, and reached full dosage after 2 weeks. I also take a probiotic, and perhaps that is why I don't get all the pain/gas others mention. I was a bit gassy for first two weeks, but it was mild. It has since stopped. I'm very regular now, 2 x a day. I will not stop taking this, but will also be taking it with the probiotic (probiotic pro-40) and organic acacia powder (fiber).Read More Read Less

From constipation to running a sub 10 second hundred metres to get to a toilet. I have a three second warning believe me and the result is a minor explosion and a total detox. Not sure if this is good or bad. At least no pain from constipation.

Severe cramping and bloating from the gas it has created. I have been in pain for an entire week. I stopped using the probiotic that contained the inulin 5 days ago. The negative side effects is lingering. I have a scheduled colonic tomorrow. I hope I get some relief.

I had a colon re-section and needed fiber to keep me regular. I hated the kind you drink so I started taking chewable inulin. I am almost back to being normal with this. Added benefits for the high cholesterol and weight loss.

I found that all the orange juice in Costa Rica adds inulin to their product. I had juice several times followed by extreme cramping, diarrhea,headache and dizziness. At first I did not know what caused it. I changed my breakfast diet still drinking the OJ. the symptoms were always there. Now that I have stopped drinking OJ I have not had a problem. I imagine the amount used is relatively small so I am assuming my body just cannot tolerate inulin. It sure did make me awfully sick and incapacitated me for the whole day. Read More Read Less

I ate some gluten free waffles and felt burning in my esophagus and stomach like ginger causes. they contained inulin. I did not know what that was so came her to find out if it is related to ginger. I found inulin to be very unpleasant.

Pharmisist recomended Fiber Choice to help me control fecal incontinence. I had a colonoscopy because my bowel habits had changed. Got an excelent report. I am 82 and expect this is age related. So far, so good using inulin in this form.

I experienced a bit of gas so I take Clear & Natural before bedtime and am regular every morning and no gas during my work day. I don't get as bloated as with psyllium.

When I switched to a different stevia product which also contained inulin, I began to experience bloating, gas pain, back pain, and diarrhea. I've discontinued the use of the product.

I am involved in a nutrition group at the local childrens hospital and they have warned us AGAINST using this stuff as a fiber replacement.. in ten years we'll be reading about how bad this stuff is "they" said. The specialists said it's right up there with aspartame.
