Can a prebiotic (Prebiotin™) and psyllium (Metamucil™) be taken together?
Yes. There are no known interactions between these two fibers. However, these are both soluble fibers and they both can feed the gas forming bacteria in the gut. So, a reduction in the initial dose of each is recommended, such as psyllium (Metamucil™) 2 grams and oligofructose enriched inulin (Prebiotin™) 2 grams. Additionally, it is best to take the prebiotics with food so as to allow it to trickle slowly into the colon.
