New study tests which fiber supplement causes least gas

NCT ID NCT07525180

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares three fiber supplements—LOAM prebiotic fiber, inulin, and a placebo—to see which causes the least intestinal gas and digestive discomfort. 125 healthy adults on low-fiber diets will take one supplement daily for four weeks. A wearable device measures gas, and participants track symptoms remotely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

LOAM prebiotic fiber, inulin, and cellulose placebo (dietary supplements)

What this could lead to

If LOAM causes less gas than inulin, it could become a more comfortable prebiotic option for people starting fiber supplements.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study in healthy people, not patients. Results may not apply to those with digestive conditions, and the wearable device is still being tested.
