Just wondering - is it safe to take both a prebiotic such as Heather's Tummy Fiber and a probiotic at the same time? I'm IBS-C with very occasional D. Thanks for your input!

Prebiotics act as food for probiotics. They belong together

However, there is no guarantee that the prebiotic you ingest will feed the probiotic you ingest. The probiotic may need a difference carbohydrate source than the prebiotic you are using.
