What is the difference between fibre and a probiotic?
Prebiotic fibre feeds the bacteria already present. Live cultures add bacteria. They are different things and are often taken together.
How much fibre should I be eating?
UK guidance is around 30g a day for adults, and most people fall well short. Your GP or a dietitian can advise on what is right for you.
Can I just eat more wholegrains instead?
Yes, and for most people that is the better and cheaper answer. Supplements are for when food alone is not getting you there.
Why do I need to drink more water with it?
Fibre works by absorbing water. Increasing it without drinking more is what makes people uncomfortable and is the usual reason they stop.
