Fiber supplement to lower inflammation in COPD

This study tests whether taking a daily fiber supplement can reduce inflammation in people with COPD (a lung disease that makes breathing harder) and improve their overall health. If you have stable COPD and get a certain amount of fiber from your diet, you may be able to join.
