Pages: 1 Chicory root and inulin??       #351365 - 10/29/09 07:53 PM Edit Reply Quote Allisonmary Reged: 01/03/04 Posts: 533 I bought a vanilla hazelnut tea that has roasted chicory root. If I am sensitive to inulin could this be causing my problems because I just read that inulin is chicory root??

Inulin is problematic for some IBSers. However I am not sure that any inulin will be extracted from the tea bag into the tea when it steeps. I suspect it won't be and therefore it should be okay. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Chicory root and inulin??       #351370 - 10/30/09 08:20 AM Edit Reply Quote DanaDivine Reged: 09/30/09 Posts: 95 it's also in bananas and certain probiotics Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Chicory root and inulin??       #351374 - 10/30/09 09:54 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA There is a small amount in banana but nothing compared to the amount in chicory and other veggies. Here are some average amounts of inulin per 100 gram of product Bananas 0.5 grams Barely 0.8 grams Wheat bran 2.5 grams Onions 4.3 grams Leeks 6.5 grams Garlic 12.5 grams Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 grams Chicory 41.6 grams Bananas are fine for most people and definitely don't cause the same problems that things with high inulin cause. The reference below has some information on the amount of inulin in a variety of foods. It really ashame that they put inulin in probiotics and a variety of other foods. Reference Moshfegh, A.
