It's an interesting question, and I don't think anyone has the complete answer. On one hand, you MUST feed the colonic bacteria to have them produce butyrate, which is what the gut wants.
OTOH, it does seem to be the case that some people are colonized with pretty bad bacteria, and feeding them just makes the person feel worse (based on anecdotal evidence and books like SCD).
So I can't really say. I do know I got a bit "gassy" the first day or three taking konjac. However, konjac is also known to kill some of the bad bacteria, so maybe it did that. I haven't actually heard of bad reactions from people taking it, after the first few days.

Won't it feed bad bacteria?
