If I'm sensitive to prebiotics, can I take Rootine's functional drink mixes?

If you are sensitive to prebiotics, we recommend starting with 1/2 stick pack in one sitting and slowly increasing to a full stick pack over 1-2 weeks.

Sensitivity to prebiotics in the form of gas, bloating, discomfort and changes in stool habits can occur from a few different reasons. If you are currently consuming a low fiber diet, increasing your fiber slowly over a few weeks can minimize gastrointestinal symptoms. Individuals that have imbalances in their microbiome from medical conditions, medication use such as antibiotics and steroids or consume a low fiber, high-processed food diets may experience more gastrointestinal issues in the beginning that tend to resolve with consistent prebiotic intake. We always recommend you talk to your healthcare professional that understands your full medical history before starting a new supplement routine.
