Summary

This pilot study is testing whether eating fermented poi every day can improve the gut health of pregnant women and lower their risk of developing gestational diabetes. Fifty pregnant women between 10 and 24 weeks will eat one pound of poi daily for four weeks and receive nutrition tips by text. Researchers will compare their gut, mouth, and vaginal bacteria, diet quality, and diabetes rates to a similar group of women who did not eat poi.
