Hi, I’ve been getting some really stinky farts on the vanilla Plenny shake, none on the chocolate. From other threads I know its the chicory-derived inulin content in the vanilla and my body is not adjusting to it.
I’d like to try other flavors, but I’m not sure which ones have the lowest inulin content! I presume that some flavors will come with more flavor-derived fibres and thus less inulin than others.
Could you please rank the flavors by inulin content?
Why not go for the highest inulin and embrace the farts? Crop dust your coworkers. Hot box your family. Live out your dream supervillain lifestyle.
Hey @gerimy! We are sorry the inulin is not doing you well 
Indeed, only the Plenny Shake Active Chocolate has no inulin, and the other flavors contain the same amount, there is no variation between flavors (~2 g per portion).
There are some people sensitive to inulin but also it can be a matter of your microbiota getting used to it. If it is very annoying, we recommend you stick to the PSA chocolate but if you feel more curious, you can make a trial of 10 days to see if there is any improvement. Let us know your decision 
Interesting the other flavors all have 2g/serving Inulin, because I’ve only noticed this so far on the vanilla Plenny Drink (ready-to-drink).
That said, I’ve been having the vanilla Plenny Drink in the afternoon after eating lunch. I’ve also had coconut Plenny Shake but it was after muesli (also mostly oats), or in place of a meal… so maybe inulin after a hot meal is the bad idea - instead drink the shake an empty stomach.
And it’s only the Plenny Shake Active Chocolate that has no inulin, so the regular chocolate does have 2g/serving inulin? I guess that’s the only one I could take shortly after a non-cereal-based meal.
Other threads also suggested adding psyllium husk, which I have in the kitchen, so I’ll try that too.
Like my dad used to say “wherever you be, let your wind go free.” I’m old anyway so people expect me to fart. One of the perks of growing old.
Hahahahahaha, don’t abuse that 
If people are interested my current rankings of Jimmy Joy by fartiness are as follows:
Clear the room:
Mildly gassy:
Non-gassy:
Hahaha, thanks for letting us know your experience with this 
Hi @gerimy!
Since you brought up the topic to the forum, we wanted to make an update. The new Plenny Shake Active v3.1 Chocolate now contains 1g of inulin.
We hope this amount doesn’t bring you discomfort 
However, if it does, don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer care team at love@jimmyjoy.com and they will find the best solution for you 
I’ve done some reading and experiments with inulin, using meal shakes and straight inulin powder, under different conditions to figure out how to use it.
I read that gut microbiota gradually adjust to inulin levels over time, and may grow gassy on sudden changes. Recommendation is to start at 2g/day and increase gradually over 4 weeks up to 5g-10g/day - or at your desired shake intake or inulin tolerance limit.
If one skips the regularly scheduled inulin-containing shake, it helps to have a powdered inulin supplement in water, to keep the microbiota calm, as I found a sudden decrease in inulin also upsets them.
Inulin is a FODMAP, so bloating and gas is massively increased if inulin is mixed up in the gut with other high FODMAP foods: wheat, and most fruit and veg. The worst gas I found is from taking an inulin-containing shake to “top up” the calories intake after a FODMAP-containing meal…
The best way I found to use an inulin-containing shake is as a full meal replacement (so no other food an hour before or after). It also works well as “first thing in the morning” shake to be followed later by a low-FODMAP breakfast (e.g. oats, eggs & sausage), or last-thing-at-night at least 3-4 hours after eating dinner.
In principle inulin is a good ingredient, as it greatly increases satiety. The content should be even higher, at least in my opinion.
