Fructans - Friend or Foe

[gluten]

Hi, Last week I did an accidental experiment. I ran out of my garlic supplement. I take two a day of Kyolic No 102 formula. What I noticed was a much less gas and no urgency for BM's. But the urgency to urinate increased. That led me to investigate why. You could write a term paper on the information. So, I will list the some of the sites in two, Friend or Foe. Foe - " Fructans in the Diet " "Fructan vs Gluten" "Garlic + Digestive Problems" "A List of Foods with Fructan" "Garlic +Digestion" Friend - Inulin - type fructans: functional food ingredients. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17951492 Probiotic Capacity of Inulin-Type Fructans jn.nutrition.org/content/137/11/2503S.full Just type in the titles and you should find the site. I finally got my garlic supplements and have cut back to one a day. Garlic is good for prostate health and help stop enlargement and the urgency. It is amazing how little changes in diet can change our biochemistry. Jon
