# Pro Pre Basics
> Probiotics are live bacteria; prebiotics are food for them. Learn the difference and why inulin appears in the same chewable as the strains.

## Guides
- [What a Prebiotic Is, in Everyday Terms](https://probiotic-vs-prebiotic-inulin.pages.dev/what-is-a-prebiotic/): What is a prebiotic? It is a food ingredient, usually a type of fibre, that microbes can use as fuel, and it is not alive itself.
- [Everyday Foods That Contain Inulin](https://probiotic-vs-prebiotic-inulin.pages.dev/inulin-sources-in-food/): Inulin sources in food include onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, bananas, wheat and chicory root, and it is also added to some packaged foods.
- [Inulin and Digestive Comfort: Go Slowly](https://probiotic-vs-prebiotic-inulin.pages.dev/inulin-and-digestive-comfort/): Inulin and digestive comfort are linked mainly through pace: a fibre your body is not used to can cause gas or bloating if you add it quickly.
- [What Synbiotic Means on a Label](https://probiotic-vs-prebiotic-inulin.pages.dev/synbiotic-meaning/): Synbiotic is a label word for a product that combines live microorganisms (a probiotic) with a food ingredient meant for them (a prebiotic).
- [Reading Fiber Amounts on a Supplement Label](https://probiotic-vs-prebiotic-inulin.pages.dev/fiber-amounts-on-supplement-label/): On a supplement panel, fibre amounts are usually shown in grams or milligrams per serving, and ingredients are listed from most to least by weight.
