NCT ID NCT06877013
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how well people with self-reported fiber sensitivity tolerate different doses of soluble fiber. 141 adults took fiber or a placebo for 7 days, and researchers measured digestive symptoms and dropout rates. The goal was to find a dose that causes minimal discomfort, which could guide future dietary advice for sensitive individuals.
