Chris Kresser: The study showing that PHGG improved treatment outcomes while patients were taking rifaximin was 5 grams. Other studies have been more like 10 grams for IBS. That’s a pretty high dose. I think some patients definitely can react to it. I know that we’ve had some members of the group that have tried higher doses and have had an adverse reaction. So in any event, I would start lower. I would start at maybe half a teaspoon and then gradually titrate up. If they can get to 10 grams, then that has been shown to be beneficial in studies, but I definitely wouldn’t start there.
