What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Appetite

    Subjects were given an appetite questionnaire to complete at time 0, 20, 40, 60, 120 and 180

    Measured: 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Blood glucose

    Finger prick blood were taken at time 0, 20, 40, 60, 120 and 180 for glucose measurement using a glucometer

    Measured: 3 hours

  2. fasting and postprandial energy expentidure

    Fasting energy expenditure was measured for thirty minutes before meal and beano intervensions were given and at postprandial time points 20, 40, 60, 120 and 180, postprandial energy expenditure was measured for 15 minutes at each time point

    Measured: 4 hours

  3. gastrointestinal symptoms

    At timepoints 0, 20, 40, 60, 120 and 180, gastroinstinal symptoms were assessed using a questionnaire
