Synbiotic: probiotic plus its food.

Inulin is a prebiotic fibre that the beneficial bacteria in a probiotic ferment for fuel, producing short-chain fatty acids that nourish the gut lining, so pairing them (a synbiotic) helps the cultures establish and feeds the bacteria you already have.

What to do

A classic gut pairing. Introduce inulin slowly and build up, since fermentable fibre can cause gas and bloating at first, and drink plenty of water. People with IBS or a FODMAP sensitivity may not tolerate inulin and should start very low.
