How much potato starch to take per day?

Hi Happy!

Take 40g as powder in water. Mix it well and just drink straight down. It doesn't have much taste to it. I usually take my probiotic with it too.

You could do with some electric kitchen scales really but it's about 15 level tablespoons of the stuff. Seems quite a lot but it doesn't thicken water much at all.

Yes, it's helped me a lot. Effectively, it serves as food for the good guys in your gut. You'd have to eat a LOT of cold pasta or potatoes to get that much RS in your diet normally so it's a bit of a hack that way. Potato starch, Qing Dai & Grape Seed Extract (two good antioxidants) helped give me the bulk I was looking for.

KW-that is a lot of Potato Starch! I'm thinking 1-2 tablespoons is the way to go.

You could also eat good ol' fashioned potatoes to get the RS. Boil em, bake them, make them anyway. There is just one caveat - Make sure it cools after you cook it though. I make organic french fries, lace them with salt and leave them to cool a bit. Who knew french fries could be so healthy?

Yeah I will try two tablespoons first! Thanks everyone!

I take 4 tablespoons a day. If I go below that, I see the difference. Actually, smell the difference. Under 4 TBSP, my gas and poop go back to smelling pretty bad. Not flaring bad, but worse than normal, to an embarrassing degree. On 4 TBSP, the smell is hardly there and completely normal.

I'm guessing that the potato starch feeds the good guys in my gut.

I love knowing that I can poop without making the bathroom awful for the next person. That alone, for me, is enough reason to take potato starch.



I take it in a smoothie or mixed with applesauce and cinnamon.

I would stay at 2 for a couple of days, it can make you gassier and you should give your gut time to get used to it!
