Here's what Laura and Kelsey will be discussing in this episode: My question is on prebiotics and soluble fiber. I often hear Acacia fiber recommended for gut health as it can feed good bacteria. But doesnt this also feed bad bacteria too? I have noticed prebiotics being sold in the store but I just dont get how it can help if its also promoting bad bacteria growth. I thought any kind of soluble fibre/prebiotic will help both the good and bad. And if we have Bad bacteria overgrowth, don’t we want to reduce it by starving them off? I have problems with grains, and have been doing well on the GAPS diet. However, I'm also pregnant, and most recommendations for pregnant women include several servings of grains. Should I avoid or include grains during pregnancy?
