With polyols, the dose is very much dose related and will not affect IBS sufferers. You’d have to be having a serious amount of Huel for the Xylitol intake to be anywhere near a problem.
There is actually no legal requirement for us to even declare it as the amount is so low and we’re using it as a carrier. I wonder how many other minute polyol-containing products people might be consuming that do not declare them.
Great, thanks for that information. Fingers crossed I won’t notice a change with the new version. It’s def worth trying Ted as it has made a massive difference to me. More so than the year and a half of full time fodmap a few years ago. I rarely need to take any meds now. Thanks Huel
I have IBS and seem to have to follow a low FODMAP diet to be able to maintain a healthy distance from the toilet for any lengthy period of time.
I started with Huel following a particularly bad period which basically deterred me from eating any food, to the point I could only face eating once a day.
Realising that this was not a long term solution I started looking around to see what options I had.
so far, I have been living on huel around 80% for meals for the last 6 months, outside of that I snack on peanuts and popcorn, and am maintaining a much happier digestive system.
Just a word of caution from my experience. Huel made my IBS way worse. Far too much fibre in the product for me to handle even at the starter portions. I get that some IBS you need to add fibre and some remove. I was hoping that this product would be a good balance but unfortunately not for my body.
Hi @robgib I have bowel problems, the first time I tried huel I got quite windy lol But it wore off very quickly, I think it was the sudden change to high fibre. I’m on the diarrhoea side of bowel problems and if anything and without TMI Huel makes my movements quite magnificent! and over time I’ve had to cut down on the amount of immodium I take else I found I would start to swing the other way. Hope that helps and apologies for the TMI! I would also recommend building up slowly how much you drink in a day.
