Does Inulin create gas in some people?
Occasionally, a new Teeccino drinker may experience excess gas. The excess gas is most likely caused by unfavorable resistant bacteria in the gut. Inulin, from the chicory root in Teeccino, is a prebiotic. Prebiotics are known to feed the “good” digestive bacteria like lactobacillus and bifidus flora, but occasionally there may be some unfavorable resistant bacteria that cause some gas. We have found that the excess gas some people have experienced goes away once probiotics with lactobacillus and bifidus bacteria are added to the diet. This type of probiotic can be found in the refrigerated section of your local health food store. Drinking Teeccino (a prebiotic) along with taking a probiotic, over a two week period, should help rebalance your colon with the right mix of healthy bacteria it needs for optimal digestive health. From then on, Teeccino will continue to support a healthy population of beneficial bacteria that is necessary for good health.
