Anyway... There are a lot of people on this forum and the yahoo candidiasis group, including me, that seem to get a worsening of symptoms from taking inulin. These symptoms being all the ones that led me to take it in the first place(bloating, reflux, fatigue, brain fog, thrushy tongue, excema, etc.) I mean, maybe we are all suffering from a bacteria different from candida, but one symptom that I have heard pretty much exclusively linked to candida is the drunken feeling after consuming carbs, which I definitely have. I want to make it clear that I was not taking candex when taking inulin. I have taken both for months, but never during the same times. Inulin just seems to fuel whatever fire is going on down there.
Then it is probably the unconverted fructose in the FOS/inulin. I have heard some sources claim a sweetness with some FOS/inulin products. But there should be no sweetness, which means that there is likely some sugar still present.
