Prebiotics feed our probiotics. So which is more important? Should you supplement with prebiotics? In this episode Tina and Leah discuss the different types of prebiotics and where to find them. They also talk about ketogenic diets, when a probiotic may interfere with treatment, and the hidden benefits in potatoes, rice and pasta!
Here are the seven categories of prebiotics we talked about in this episode:
Inulin, FOS, GOS, resistant starches, arabinooxalans, pectins, and beta glucans
