NCT ID NCT06240065
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Short bowel syndrome is a rare condition where the bowel is too short to absorb enough nutrients. This study gives green bean puree to 60 adults with and without the condition to see if they can tolerate fiber. Researchers will track symptoms, weight, and changes in gut bacteria to learn how fiber affects digestion.
