Question 1

We just started inulin and now my child is constipated which I understand is because SIBO is resolved. My question is how long until the constipation is fixed?

Accepted Answer

The worsening of constipation does indicate that bacterial overgrowth has been resolved and that the true extent of the ANS dysfunction has been revealed. Continued adherence to the protocol will slowly begin to improve autonomic function and constipation should resolve over the next few months. Until then I recommend using any over the counter constipation remedies on an as-needed basis)
