Personalized GI Motility Responses to Diet

Description

The goal of this randomized, crossover, clinical trial is to link: 1) gastrointestinal motility patterns induced by acute consumption of whole and refined grains, 2) enteric microbial production of bioactive metabolites, and 3) circulating postprandial appearance of metabolites important to cardiometabolic health including glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol. Participants will be asked to consume a Smartpill monitoring device that records metrics of gastrointestinal motility in response to whole or refined grains, monitor cardiometabolic metabolties over an 8 hour postprandial window, and provide a fecal sample for microbiome-related analyses.

Conditions

Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases, Gastrointestinal Dysfunction, Cardiovascular Diseases, Dysbiosis
