Question 1

I increased inulin and now my child is extremely hyper. Should I lower it again?

Accepted Answer

One cause of disruptive behaviors in some children is when excessive doses of inulin are used to balance the intestinal tract.  As the inulin dose is increased, a child might become more anxious, hyperactive, hungry, thirsty or aggressive. Beyond the dose of 1/2 teaspoons a day, it is rare to see any added improvement in symptoms and the higher dose has the potential to increase hyperactivity, hunger, thirst, anxiety, or aggression and may cause discomfort from excessive gas, cramping, or bloating.
