Same, except we also have digestive issues. I'm really hoping a paleo diet and good probiotics will save me. It's already helped me a lot. I'll let you know in 40 years if it prevents me from getting Alzheimer's.

If you’re supplementing probiotics, there is some research about inulin to talk through with your doctor. There’s a chance that inulin is carcinogenic even at lower doses. A lower dosage might be 4g and a typical probiotic is 200g. Reasons to be wary of this research, including: -The rodent-to-human study element -causation v correlation -sample size Reasons to take this research seriously: -Probiotic supplements are relatively new and long term effects aren’t understood. -The “health as a business” realities that are very much at work here. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277257232300198X https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277257232... https://news.gsu.edu/2018/10/18/adding-refined-fiber-to-processed-food-could-have-negative-health-effects-study-finds/ https://news.gsu.edu/2018/10/18/adding-refined-fiber-to-proc...

  Probiotics usually refers to bacteria, inulin and other indigestible starches are usually referred to as prebiotics.

  This is a strange comment, inulin is not a probiotic, it's a soluble dietary fiber. It's at best considered a prebiotic. Probiotics are microorganisms.

    Strange or not, it's correct. Culturelle contains inulin. That's the brand that takes up most of the space at my local CVS and Walgreens. Also the CVS-brand knockoff contains inulin.

      ...in miniscule amounts. Culturelle has 200mg inulin. From the case study in the GP >The only noted lifestyle change between colonoscopies was the initiation of 4 grams of agave inulin powder daily in his morning beverage for the last 2 years of that seven-year period.
