Can fiber be used for constipation and reflux?

To @Asia: Please try, for example, in herbal and medical stores or in a drugstore or health food store.

Thank you. And do you know where I can buy inulin powder?

Do@Asia: Inulin is available in the pharmacy as an ingredient in probiotic preparations. Examples can be found here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/inulina In pharmacies, however, you can not buy inulin itself, e.g. in powder form.

Is it possible to buy inulin at the pharmacy?

Thank you. My doubt about the use of apple fiber appeared due to the fact that eating a raw apple in me greatly intensifies reflux, hence my doubts about apple fiber ...

For @Ma łgosia: yes, you can use apple fiber in case of constipation. Provided that you do not exceed the recommended daily portion of fiber and consume a sufficient amount of fluids per day (minimum 2.5 l), the use of fiber preparations is not contraindicated in patients with gastric atrophy, gastritis and reflux.

Thank you. Please let me know if apple fiber can be used in case of constipation? Can it be used if the patient is struggling with constipation, gastric atrophy, gastritis and reflux?

The preparation you are asking about is in powder form. It should be used during a meal, i.e. it can be during dinner. Before that, it should be dissolved in liquid, preferably it should be water. I have not met with another preparation containing inulin alone. However, a collection of preparations containing inulin can be found in the link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/inulina

Thank you. And this preparation is in sachets or in powder form? Can it also be dissolved in water and drunk during dinner? Is it possible to buy another inulin preparation in the pharmacy? If so, under what name?

F-inulin is a product of Formeds. It is recommended to use 1 serving (flat scoop) dissolved in 200 ml of liquid (preferably water) 1 time per day during a meal. Due to the need to increase fluids in the diet, it is recommended to use m.in soup, water rather than, for example, thick yogurt. Before consumption, it is necessary to shake the packaging of the product. It does not matter when to take the preparation. It is usually suggested that this be more or less a fixed time during the day. No maximum duration of inulin use is specified. Long-term use is safe. Probably pharmacies that offer Formeds preparations (e.g. from the Bicaps series) will not have major problems with ordering the F-Inulin product.

Thank you. Please inform me in what dosage I can use F-Inulin and how long can I use this preparation to the maximum? How to take it correctly: dissolve the sachet in water? Is it possible to add a sachet, e.g. to yogurt? Does the time of taking the preparation matter? Should it be taken before eating or after eating? Can F-Inulin stationary pharmacy bring? Is this preparation readily available?
