Primary

Promotes cross-feeding of beneficial gut bacteria

Intermediate products of lactose and oligosaccharide metabolism can be reused by bifidobacteria, forming cross-feeding so both beneficial groups expand together. Everyday care can raise the share of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria at the same time. A modest fiber increase is less likely to bloat someone to a halt.

Primary

Improves gut tolerance of fiber

Acid production runs in parallel with acetate from bifidobacteria, pulling the lumen toward more diverse fermentation. People with poor digestive tolerance who bloat after a little fiber can first use this mutual help to bring the community up. The everyday meal tolerance range slowly widens a little.
