Is FOS Ok?

Hi Dr. Jeff,
I have seen conflicting information on this, so I thought I would ask you. Does FOS increase Candida? I started taking a probiotic a few weeks ago that has FOS in it, and I have noticed a uptick in symptoms dating to about that time. I also started taking Virgin Coconut Oil at the same time. Should either of these items cause a problem? I am hoping that FOS is ok as I have trouble finding a probiotic that does not have Rice or dairy...
Thanks for your help!!

This is a reply to # 823,125FOS is a short-chain sugar that is believed to be able to feed both the good and bad bacteria. Inulin is a long-chain sugar that bad bacteria is not able to feed on as efficiently. Inulin is being used in more and more formulas. We use it in our Flora Prime formula at

Extra virgin coconut oil should not produce symptoms of candida overgrowth.- Re: Is FOS Ok? Bugboy

It would seem then that FOS feeds Candida.
I am interested in Flora Prime, but the product description on your web site did not seem to have the level of detail I need. I have a dairy and rice food allergy (among others), and I have noticed that most every probiotic has one or the other or both. Can you provide the exact contents to include a detail of the 11 strains of bacteria and how much is contained in a dose? 1 billion CFU's? 5 billion? 500 mgs?
Thanks again for your help
John
