High FODMAP
Inulin
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Inulin is a soluble fiber extracted from chicory root used commercially as a prebiotic and bulking agent. It consists entirely of fructan chains that ferment rapidly in the colon without prior digestion. This high FODMAP load triggers significant gas production and osmotic water shifts immediately. Pure inulin remains highly incompatible with IBS management protocols.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Replace inulin with verified low-FODMAP soluble fibers like acacia gum safely during formulation. Always verify commercial sourcing to ensure complete absence of hidden chicory derivatives in products. Store it airtight to prevent moisture clumping and preserve powder consistency during usage. Substituting carefully ensures bulk maintenance without triggering gastrointestinal distress.
