This is a follow up post to the recent one about inulin. I had spent a lot of time involved with post-biotics but never really considered pre-biotics at all to date. This all changed quite recently when I stumbled across inulin which is described in a recent post so will not repeat all those comments

I have been on a Gluten Free diet for more then 10 years. Recently I have had abdominal pain, flatulence, and reflux after food.
