There's a lot of inulin in there, a rapidly fermenting fiber... new

that can cause a LOT of bloating and gas. In general, avoid inulin and FOS (similar) completely.

They're cheap, manufacturing by-products used as fiber in food processing. They should be using acacia, which ferments slowly, so it has the prebiotic effect but a good GI tolerance, and not the bloating/gas risk. But that would cost them about 10 times more for the raw ingredient, so they cheap out.

Best,
Heather

Thank you. I was indeed concerned about the inulin I wasn't sure if that was considered a lot of it. I will steer clear I think.
