What About Chicory?

[teajae]

So I'm 3 weeks into AIP. I just found recipe to make my own sauerkraut. This recipe mentioned sugar which is a no no right now. I did come across a product from Body Ecology called Eco Bloom that replaces the "sugar" in making fermented foods. This product has chicory extract. Not seeing anywhere if chicory is OK or this is a no no. Anyone know by chance?

Chicory root is okay. Maybe do some research to make sure the extract is from the root.

But consume in moderation (I'm sure using it for sauerkraut is fine)-it seems to have some issues:

You may already know this but you can make delicious kraut with just salt and cabbage.
