Question 1

My child seems to be FODMAP sensitive (so no onion, garlic etc.). Can he still take Inulin?

Accepted Answer

FODMAP sensitivity is evidence of bacterial overgrowth, and inulin helps reverse bacterial overgrowth. I believe the benefits that occur after starting any diet that restricts carbohydrates (GAPS, FODMAPS, Feingold, gluten, casein, etc.) is from a relative, non-specific decrease in the overall bacterial load within the gut.
