Dry stools after drinking inulin may be caused by inulin’s fine powder, over-consumption and bad dietary habits.
1. Inulin is fine: Because inulin itself is a white amorphous powder, it is relatively fine and lacks crude fiber content, which slows down the peristalsis of the intestinal tract, thus leading to dry stools and difficulty in defecation. If this situation has already occurred, it is recommended not to continue to take inulin.
2. Excessive use: It is possible that the amount of inulin consumed is too much, which will cause the function of the digestive system to decline, the intestinal function is weakened, and the intestinal and gastrointestinal food is stagnant in excess, leading to dry stools and difficult defecation.
3. Bad dietary habits: Inulin is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber, after taking it, it will absorb water from human intestines, so when you take inulin, your diet must contain enough water, or else you may have dry stools.
Drinking inulin after the dry stool may also have other reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to give targeted treatment or treatment.
