NCT ID NCT07587424

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how different types of dietary fibre (cellulose, oat fibre, and rye fibre) affect gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating and gas in healthy adults. Researchers will examine how each person's unique gut microbiome influences their reaction to these fibres. The goal is to understand why some people experience discomfort with certain fibres, paving the way for personalised nutrition advice.
