Americans Are Taking Supplements for Gut Health but Missing Something More Crucial
Among adults, probiotic use has quadrupled in recent years.
This is a good point. Its amazing how many people are taking unproven probiotic supplements while not taking fiber.
Nobody gets anywhere near enough fiber from diet alone. Not even close. Its cheap, proven, essential, and comes in a tasty orange drink. And everybody wrongly treats it like its something for old people.

I know some people shy away from it because they add sugar (or artificial sweetener in the sugar free version which IMO is worse than sugar), but you can literally just buy psyllium husk straight up if that is a concern.
Chia seeds are also another great option - they're really easy to add to your breakfast cereal or oatmeal or yogurt and they're really high in fiber.

Metamucil is awesome. I've been taking it for about a year or two, and you've never truly lived until you shit out a massive log and didnt even have to wipe its so clean. Religious experience, really.Americans Are Taking Supplements for Gut Health but Missing Something More Crucial

I took the advice and have been on the fiber train for months now. I cannot stop farting. It is constant, every day. It did at least result in those clean poops, but since I was told to take iron supplements as well, that’s fucked it all up. Poops aren’t clean anymore and are apparently dense or heavy enough that sometimes the flush just won’t take them. It’s annoying.

my wife does a blend of metamucil and citrucel, metamucil is the psyllium husk and citruel is Methylcellulose, maybe try a scoop or 2 of citrucel

Found this out the hard way. Lifting heavy weights in the gym and eating pounds of white chicken meat go hand in hand. Well... a 90% protein diet makes you shit tree bark... which will eventually lead to worse problems if you don't remedy the situation.Americans Are Taking Supplements for Gut Health but Missing Something More Crucial

I mix Benefiber mostly in my tea but have used it in Gatoraid and the generic Crystal Light drink mixes. It is tasteless and either completely dissolves or leave less than 1% residue. It needs to go in the drink last though. Putting it in first can cause it clump together.
Outside of the whole fiber thing, I recent researched the whole Probiotic and "digestive health" thing. What I found made it sound like the supplements are 90% bullshit. If you want to cultivate a better gut biome, you gotta eat foods with good bacteria fermenting in them, not down some pills.

fiber has had absolutely the opposite effect for me on flatulence.
You can deliver bacteria to the gut but the entry point is from the other direction. And who the fuck wants that?
Eating things that promote good bacteria (like lots of fiber) and not eating things that fuck them up (like lots of sugar or artificial sweeteners) is the way to go IMO.
In any case, I don't think most people have digestive issues because of their gut microbiome. They have digestive issues cause they eat like 1/10 of the amount of fiber they need for normal digestive function.
Even when the probiotics contain actual living bacterial cells, and even if those are bacterial types that actually have a benefit, eating bacteria is a terrible way to get them into your gut. Thats part of the purpose of gastric fluids. Hydrochloric acid isnt conducive to bacteria surviving the trip. AFAIC the whole industry is snake oil.
