About this study

Official title: The Effect of a Low FODMAP Oral Nutrition Supplement On Breath Hydrogen Response In Health Human Subjects

The goal of this study is to determine subjective gastrointestinal tolerance response and differences in breath hydrogen response following the consumption of different types of low FODMAP oral nutrition supplements. This randomized, crossover study requires participants to arrive to the lab 12 hours fasted, consume an oral liquid supplement and complete gastrointestinal tolerance questionnaires as well as produce samples for breath hydrogen analysis at various time points over a 4 hour time period.

Read the detailed description

This randomized, crossover study requires participants to arrive to the lab 12 hours fasted, consume an oral liquid supplement and complete gastrointestinal tolerance questionnaires as well as produce samples for breath hydrogen and methane analysis at various time points over a 4 hour time period. Subjects will also be asked to rate gastrointestinal symptoms via a questionnaire at various time points throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Breath hydrogen response

    At baseline, subjects will be asked to exhale a full breath into a sample collection bag. The breath samples will be extracted and measured using the Quintron Breath Track Analyzer. This will be a marker of carbohydrate fermentation in the colon.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Breath hydrogen response

    At 60 minutes, subjects will be asked to exhale a full breath into a sample collection bag. The breath samples will be extracted and measured using the Quintron Breath Track Analyzer. This will be a marker of carbohydrate fermentation in the colon.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  3. Breath hydrogen response

    At 120 minutes, subjects will be asked to exhale a full breath into a sample collection bag. The breath samples will be extracted and measured using the Quintron Breath Track Analyzer. This will be a marker of carbohydrate fermentation.

    Measured: 120 minutes

  4. Breath hydrogen response

    At 240 minutes, subjects will be asked to exhale a full breath into a sample collection bag. The breath samples will be extracted and measured using the Quintron Breath Track Analyzer. This will be a marker of carbohydrate fermentation.

    Measured: 240 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Gastrointestinal tolerance

    Subjects will answer a 7 symptom questionnaire regarding the intensity of gastrointestinal symptoms experienced following consumption of each of the supplements. Questionnaire is adapted from the validated Bovenshen gastrointestinal tolerance questionnaire. Questionnaire is to be completed at baseline, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, 180 min, 12 hours, 24 and 48 hours.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low FODMAP Oral Nutrition Supplement in people with Food Selection, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Breath hydrogen response (time frame: baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02667184, which also lists 1 linked publication.
