Could a fiber bar ease Parkinson's gut troubles?
NCT ID NCT07127120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a daily prebiotic fiber bar is safe and tolerable for people with Parkinson's disease. Twenty adults (ages 60-75) ate one bar each day for four weeks. Researchers checked gut symptoms, quality of life, and markers of intestinal inflammation from blood and stool samples. The goal was to see if the bar could improve non-motor symptoms like constipation and bloating.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease by a Neurologist * Be able to give written informed consent * Be aged between 60-75 years * Participants are on a stable drug regimen * Willing to consume the study product daily for the duration of the study * Willing to abstain from pre and probiotics for 2 weeks prior to the study and throughout the 28 days of the intervention Exclusion Criteria: * Participants has acute or chronic gastrointestinal disease (coeliac disease, diarrhea, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis, stomach or duodenal ulcers) except for hiatal hernia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, haemorrhoids. * Participants who have consumed probiotic supplements and prebiotic supplements within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1. * Participant suffering from severe renal disease (creatinine greater than 2.5 times normal) * Participants with markedly abnormal liver function (alt/ast greater than 2.5 times normal) * Plan to have a major change in dietary habits during the study. * Has any significant acute or chronic coexisting health conditions that would prevent them from fulfilling the study requirements, put the Participant at risk or would confound the interpretation of the study results as judged by the investigator on the basis of medical history and routine laboratory test results. * Individuals who, in the opinion of the investigator, are considered to be poor attendees or unlikely for any reason to be able to comply with the study. * Participants may not be receiving treatment involving experimental drugs/supplements. If the Participant has been in a recent experimental study, these must have been completed not less than 90 days for drugs and 30 days for supplements prior to this study. * Consumption of non-standard diet (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, or paleo) * Elevated bilirubin
