How different fibers affect your gut
This study tests how different dietary fibers affect gas and fermentation in your gut. You'll eat special fiber meals and track your symptoms to help researchers understand how fiber impacts digestion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study measures how your diet affects the bacteria in your gut. It is for healthy adults and people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to see if certain foods change gut bacteria differently.
This study examines how different amounts of dietary fiber affect natural chemical compounds released in your breath. Researchers will measure these compounds to understand how fiber influences your gut health and digestion.
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.
This study tests whether a natural fiber from chicory root can change and keep changes in your gut bacteria. It may help improve digestion and overall health.
This study tests whether two types of fiber—one from wheat and one from rice bran—can improve the balance of healthy bacteria in your gut. If you qualify, you'll be helping researchers learn if these fibers are good for digestion and overall health.
