does anybody take a prebiotic?

if you go furthur on the site  there is some interesting info about avoiding sulfates  or limiting sulfates

 

I am intrigued by research on prebiotics but thus far not found a prebiotic that does not make my UC worse due to generating painful gas and cramps in my gut- so I always ensure my probiotic do not also contain prebiotics. For example, culturelle (which I use somewhat along with VSL3 capsules, primal defense, and some other probiotics) is sold in formulations both with and without inulin, so I have learned which stores still sell the one without inulin- and always read the ingredients of course.

thanks Quincy, I just (re) read the label of my probiotic, Jarrows sach boulardi and it contains MOS (which is an oligasachiride sp??)and a prebiotic

 

Gonk: i was also looking into digestive enzymes, it seems as the day goes on and most espically after dinner, i feel my food just sitting like a brick in my stomach and was thinking a dig enzyme might be worth looking into, please update us on how this is working for you
