Most people can safely drink 1–2 cans of Poppi a day, but comfort and tolerance vary by person. If you are new to it or have a sensitive stomach, start with 1 can and see how you feel.
Typical daily amount
Poppi has about 2 grams of prebiotic fiber (inulin) per can, which is a relatively small amount but can still cause gas, bloating, or cramps in some people. Dietitians generally note that unless someone is drinking very large amounts (for example, close to a dozen cans), serious health issues are unlikely for a healthy adult.
Gut tolerance and side effects
Because prebiotic fiber changes how much activity happens in the gut, suddenly increasing intake can lead to digestive upset, especially in people who usually eat little fiber. Experts recommend adding these drinks gradually and paying attention to symptoms like bloating, cramping, or diarrhea as a sign to cut back.
Practical guidelines
- If you are new to Poppi: limit to 1 can per day for a week or two, then only go up to 2 if you have no digestive issues.
- If you already eat a high‑fiber diet and feel fine: 2–3 cans spread through the day is usually tolerated by many people, but more adds sugar and may not add extra benefit.
- If you have gut issues (IBS, IBD, GERD) or are pregnant, on a low‑FODMAP diet, or taking GI medications, talk with a healthcare professional before drinking it daily.
