Great advice, Sand. Lots of SFS brands have some IF in them too, as Sand showed.
Re: FOS - FOS is actually (and I think I'm right here) a PREbiotic - i.e. a substance that encourages a healthy gut environment, one that's easier for 'good' bacteria (PRObiotics) to grow in - which is why you quite often find acidophilus and FOS in the same pill. Heather's Acacia is a prebiotic fiber as well, though not in the form of FOS or inulin (I think Acacia is just naturally prebiotic...)
Inulin, like psyllium, CAN be really problematic for some people. That said, some people on these boards (like Casey aka atomic rose, I THINK) find that inulin is really helpful for them.
So yeah, kind of individual. (I LOVE that Yogi Berra quote btw Sand!  )
