Testing fiber to change gut bacteria and help with fullness
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests how eating different amounts of dietary fiber affects your gut bacteria and how full you feel. You may be able to help researchers understand whether fiber can support appetite and metabolic health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 20–55 (or 45–55 for part of the study) and premenopausal if you have a uterus
