Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized, single-blind, crossover trial aiming at evaluating the gastrointestinal tolerance of a sugar replacer blend (inulin + soluble corn fiber + erythritol) at 3 different doses


Clinical Trial Description

The study will have a randomized, single-blind, crossover design with 5 visits consisting of one screening visit and 4 study visits (3-14-day interval between the start of each visit) across 2-8 weeks. Participants will be randomized to a test sequence and will consume one control product and 3 test products made with the sugar replacer blend over the course of the study. At each visit, eligible participants will come to the lab between 8-11am, and ~1-2 hours after consuming their usual breakfast at home. After rating the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms, participants will consume one of the investigational products with a drink of water (250ml) and then be free to leave. The severity of 8 gastrointestinal symptoms (Abdominal bloating, Abdominal pain/discomfort, Gas/flatulence, Burping, Reflux (heartburn), Stomach rumbling (borborygmus), Nausea and Vomiting) will be rated at 2, 4, 6, 10 and 24 hours after starting to eat. Over the 24 hour period following consuming the investigational product a Bowel Habit Diary will be kept. For each bowel movement passed during the 24 hour period, participants will be asked to record: the time, if they had to strain, if they experienced discomfort, if they felt there was incomplete evacuation and the consistency of the stool rated using the using the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS). ;
