A scoop of fibre powder doesn’t compensate for a poor diet.

Nutritionist Megan Crockart’s preference is to use food as medicine and progressively help clients consume a greater variety of fibre-rich foods.

But that’s not always possible immediately.

Someone with significant bloating, IBS or digestive sensitivity may struggle when large amounts of new foods are introduced quickly.

That helps explain why do nutritionists recommend PHGG.

A well-tolerated soluble prebiotic fibre can provide a gentler starting point while dietary variety and the underlying causes of digestive symptoms are addressed.

The goal isn’t:

PHGG instead of healthy food.

It’s:

PHGG as one useful tool within a broader nutrition strategy.
