Inulin


Mr. Pep'r

Along with Gluten, Inulin is now on our “do not ingest list”!

I have read a few posts where people have been talking about GI problems after eating products that contain inulin.  Both my my wife (non celiac) and myself have experienced VERY negative side effects after consuming food products that contained inulin.

After a quick Google search I came across two articles that compare the good and bad of this so-called ingredient.

These two statements below jumped out at me after reading the articles.  Those with Celiac already have problems with malabsorption, “leaky gut”, gas and bloating; but yet the food industry is adding inulin to “gluten free” foods for consumption by those with already problematic GI systems.

If you’re someone who routinely suffers from problematic gas and bloating, you may find it way more comfortable to limit your intake of highly fermentable fibers like inulin, even from the nutritious whole foods described above. Similarly, scanning the ingredient labels of these foods for “inulin” or “chicory root” is also advisable.

Recent studies have shown that inulin/FOS encourages the growth of Klebsiella, a bacteria implicated in Ankylosing Spondylitis and in increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut).

So, if you’re like me who still experiences occasional GI distress after being gluten free for almost ten years you just might be putting something in your body that mimics some of the symptoms of celiac.

I need a copy of this list lol will save me a lot of pain and confusion. Just figuring out that I can't tolerate inulin as an ingredient. I think I'm fine eating whole foods like onions and garlic but when an ingredient list has inulin or Chicory root fiber listed I have a reaction similar to gluten. I'm 11 years gluten-free yet still learning what works or not.

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
