Question 1

Can inulin worsen issues such as hyperactivity, insomnia, anxiety and hunger or thirst?

Accepted Answer

For reasons that are still unexplained, inulin has the ability in some children to trigger an increase in hyperactivity, anxiety, thirst, hunger and insomnia in children.  These are symptoms that suggest inulin is capable of lowering brain blood pressures.  I recommend not exceeding 1/4 - 1/2 of a teaspoon per day of inulin in children as higher doses might trigger these adverse reactions.
