OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance - zur Unterstützung einer normalen Stuhlkonsistenz

Product Information

Formerly OMNi-LOGiC® FIBRE – high-quality dietary fiber for every day

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet) for the dietary management of impaired colon function regarding nutrient absorption and excretion in cases of constipation and diarrhea.

The product combines two selected sources of fiber – resistant dextrin from corn and partially hydrolyzed guar gum – and is also suitable for compensating for an insufficient fiber intake.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance is Low-FODMAP certified and can be stirred completely into liquids or soft foods without significantly changing their taste or consistency.

Who is OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance suitable for?

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance was developed for people who need a targeted supply of dietary fiber.

The product is particularly suitable:

• for the dietary management of impaired colon function

• for constipation

• for diarrhea

• to support normal stool consistency

• to regulate intestinal transit as part of its intended purpose

• to compensate for insufficient fiber intake

• for a low-fiber diet

• for people who want to gradually increase their fiber intake

• for people who value a Low-FODMAP certified source of fiber

• for regular use as part of the intended dietary management

Why is fiber important?

Dietary fibers are largely indigestible components of plant-based foods. They mostly reach the colon, where they can take on various functions.

Depending on the type of fiber, they can, among other things:

• bind water

• influence the nature of intestinal contents

• change stool volume

• be partially fermented by intestinal bacteria

• influence intestinal transit

A sufficient intake of dietary fiber is therefore part of a balanced diet.

However, the actual amount consumed can be significantly lower, especially in a diet with many highly processed foods and few fiber-rich foods.

How does OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance work?

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance combines two fiber sources:

• resistant dextrin from corn

• partially hydrolyzed guar gum

The combination was developed for the dietary management of impaired colon function regarding nutrient absorption and excretion in cases of constipation and diarrhea.

The fibers influence the physical properties of the intestinal contents and can thereby contribute to the regulation of stool consistency and the passage of chyme through the colon.

Fiber for constipation and diarrhea

The fact that fiber can be used for both constipation and diarrhea initially seems contradictory.

However, the properties of the fibers used are the deciding factor.

Due to their ability to interact with liquid and influence the nature of intestinal contents, suitable fibers can contribute to a more balanced stool consistency.

In cases of constipation, the focus is on supporting normal stool quality and intestinal transit.

In cases of diarrhea, the change in the consistency of the intestinal contents can play a role.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance was developed specifically for this nutritional medical dietary management.

Resistant dextrin from corn

Resistant dextrin is a soluble fiber.

It is not fully digested in the small intestine and thus a significant portion reaches the colon.

There, it can interact with the intestinal contents and the intestinal microbiome and contributes to the total daily fiber intake.

Partially hydrolyzed guar gum

Guar gum is obtained from the seeds of the guar plant.

Partial hydrolysis results in partially hydrolyzed guar gum, which is particularly easy to stir into liquids.

The combination with resistant dextrin enables an uncomplicated additional supply of fiber in everyday life.

Low-FODMAP certified

According to the manufacturer, OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance is Low-FODMAP certified.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols.

A low-FODMAP diet is used in particular for certain functional gastrointestinal complaints. However, a long-term, strictly low-FODMAP diet should ideally be carried out under professional supervision, as unnecessary, severe restriction of food choices should be avoided.

Neutral in taste and versatile

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance dissolves completely and clearly in liquid and can therefore be easily integrated into the daily diet.

The powder can, for example, be stirred into:

• water

• other beverages

• soups

• yogurt

According to the manufacturer, it does not significantly change the taste or consistency.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance is available both in a jar and in practical portion sticks.

Application and dosage

The recommended daily amount is:

1 portion (= 5 g each) twice daily.

This results in a regular daily amount of 10 g.

Mix one 5 g portion with about 200 ml of liquid and stir until the powder has completely and clearly dissolved.

Alternatively, the powder can be stirred into drinks, soups, or yogurt.

Slow increase at the beginning

To gradually increase fiber intake, the manufacturer recommends the following start:

Start with ½ portion daily.

Then increase by another ½ portion every 3 days until the regular daily amount of:

1 portion twice daily (= a total of 10 g)

is reached.

A slow increase can be particularly useful for people who have previously consumed only small amounts of fiber.

Increasing the daily amount

If necessary, the intake can be increased by 1 additional portion every week, according to the manufacturer.

The maximum daily amount is:

5 portions daily (= a total of 25 g).

The stated maximum daily amount should not be exceeded.

Drink enough

With an increased fiber intake, you should generally ensure sufficient fluid intake.

This is particularly important in cases of constipation, as fiber and fluid together influence the nature of intestinal contents.

Important instructions

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet).

It is intended for the dietary management of impaired colon function regarding nutrient absorption and excretion in cases of constipation and diarrhea.

Foods for special medical purposes are intended for use under medical supervision.

In cases of new, severe, or long-lasting constipation or long-lasting diarrhea, the cause should be medically clarified.

In the presence of blood in the stool, severe abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, marked changes in bowel habits, or signs of dehydration, medical clarification is required.

In cases of diarrhea, ensure sufficient fluid and electrolyte intake.

Fiber intake should be increased gradually, especially at the beginning.

Ensure sufficient daily fluid intake.

Ingredients

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Balance contains two selected fiber sources:

• resistant dextrin from corn

• partially hydrolyzed guar gum

The product has a high fiber content and is, according to the manufacturer, Low-FODMAP certified.

For the complete current list of ingredients and nutritional information, the details on the respective product packaging are authoritative.

Side effects and tolerance

Due to an increased fiber intake, especially at the beginning, temporary flatulence, a feeling of fullness, increased bowel sounds, or changes in bowel habits may occur.

For this reason, the specified gradual increase of the daily amount is recommended.

In sensitive individuals, an increase in fiber intake that is too rapid can exacerbate gastrointestinal complaints.

In case of persistent or increasing complaints, the intake amount should be reviewed and medical advice sought if necessary.

The product should not be used in cases of known allergies or intolerances to any of the ingredients.
