Carlyle Organic Inulin Powder 48oz | Prebiotic Fiber from Jerusalem Artichoke | Vegan, Vegetarian, Non-GMO & Gluten Free Supplement

I make L Reuteri yogurt every week and have had no problems with this brand of inulin. Having used it now for several years I am happy to keep ordering it. Some people worry that their Reuters fermented dairy can be spoilt by contaminated inulin but having has no problems I have recommended it to about ten people "disciples" who have followed me down the Reuteri trail (I have introduced so many people both here in Florida and back in London I feel I should qualify for a trade discount - just joking....)

This is a good value for organic. Inulin is naturally sweet. It isn’t artificial. I mix it with coffee instead of sugar and it works really well. It’s not too sweet. The trick is to stir immediately and continuously until the inulin is mixed. Otherwise there will be lumps floating around. Even if you get a small lump, it still tastes good. Some comments are about having gas or stomach cramps. If you change your diet, for the better or the worse, your gut biome changes, too. Old bacteria die and new bacteria grow and that creates gas. It’s biology doing its thing. That’s why if you eat vegetables and fruit everyday and then eat chicken wings and pizza for a weekend, you’ll fart like a longshoreman for couple of days. The gut biome is trying to sort itself out. One word of warning is that inulin is hydroscopic (absorbs water from the air). Once you open the container you have to use it. If you leave it in the cupboard, it will turn into a brick. Because 48oz is a large volume, I split the container up into smaller containers (about 4) and leave them closed until one runs out. Otherwise some may get wasted.

Works well when you slightly heat the H+H first. Then it dissolves easy. It clumps if you drop it into cold cream however.

I have been using this product for over 2 years now.

I've been using inulin for years to help with IBD with constipation (TMI, sorry). I always buy inulin from Jerusalem artichokes rather than other sources (i.e. chicory or agave) because it just works better for me. In recent years the inulin hasn't been working as well as it once did and I assumed my condition was getting worse. When I needed to find a new brand because the old one was no longer available, I decided to try Carlyle because the price was good. I noticed that there was something different about this brand right away: it's not as sweet or as sticky as what I had been getting and I not prone to clumping. After using it for a couple days I noticed I was having a little bit of digestive discomfort and that I had to use the loo more frequently. I realized that this must be related to the inulin and that I must be using too much. It seems I had gotten used to using heaping spoonfuls of the stuff because the other brands I'd used just weren't working. With Carlyle's I only needed the one small scoop once a day in my morning coffee. I wish I could say what the difference is because I only bought inulin that was said to be made from Jerusalem artichoke. I'm guessing that other companies are cutting theirs with cheaper stuff or maybe sugar? But I won't look a gift horse in the mouth; I'll be buying my inulin drom Carlyle. You should too, so that they keep producing it for me -- oops, I meant us, not just me, of course I meant us, all of us, of course that's what I meant.

I use it everyday after morning meal. Neutral flavor, easy to drink with water.

Good price and quality, has stayed fresh by keeping sealed tightly in a cool dry place in the original container and putting a smaller amount for use in a small airtight glass container.

I use this to make my lruteri culture. Artichoke is food for your gut, microbiome.

Even tidy bit gave me uncomfortableness and unpleasantness of my stomach and bowl. Couldn't take it.

The packaging was poor quality, the plastic bottle is also seems to be poor quality, the inulin it self no one can know if it's a pure inulin or added to it other unhealthy sweeteners, the price was high I paid but inside the box a small piece of receipt showed lower price than that I paid! I don't know why?
