I read that it is a type of prebiotic fiber, but during pregnancy, it is probably best to ask your doctor before trying any new health powders.

Since I had complications, I never took any supplement without my gynac's approval. Please show the label to your doctor first.

My dietitian told me inulin in foods is safe, but high doses in supplements can cause severe bloating. Better to check with your gynac for the safe limit.

Beta, instead of these modern powders, eat green veggies and fully ripe papaya for digestion. Ask your doctor first before taking such packets.

It is generally safe when found naturally in food, but better to avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises it.

I had terrible constipation and my doctor told me to stick to natural fiber like oats and apples instead of taking inulin supplements. It is much gentler.
