If I read that correctly that article is more proof that fibre is good :).

That is what I read and it is a food additive so I can buy some and give it a whirl.

I think the big key to polydextrose is that it doesn't feed the bad bacteria in our guts. I've been wondering if it would work to consume the days starchy carbohydrate calories in dextrose (thus still giving the body the energy it needs) but not feeding the bad bacteria with starch ( as per SCD)

It's just a thought, I can't experiment on myself at the moment but I did pick up some dextrose powder yesterday with this in mind.

Interesting, thanks for posting this.

that's very interesting, but what to do if i have to follow low residue diet and if i took psyllium seeds, i'd immediately have a flare up
