NCT ID NCT07594600
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how eating low or high amounts of fiber changes the compounds in your breath and gut. Twenty healthy adults will try both a low-fiber (10g/day) and a high-fiber (40g/day) diet for three days each, with a three-week break in between. Researchers will measure breath and stool samples to see how gut bacteria break down fiber. The goal is to find simple breath markers that could help understand digestion better.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify breath markers that show how well the body digests fiber, potentially guiding personalized nutrition advice.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study with only 20 healthy participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to gather knowledge, not to test a treatment.
