Dietary Rice Bran Supplementation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pilot Feasibility of Rice Bran Supplementation for Diarrheal Disease Prevention in Malian Children
The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility of rice bran consumption in weaning children and to identify dietary rice bran mediated changes to the stool microbiome and stool metabolome.
Rice bran is a globally accessible, underutilized food ingredient with an array of beneficial
nutrients (e.g. phytochemicals and prebiotics) that promote health and potentially prevent
diseases. The investigators will determine if dietary rice bran intake can modulate the
infant gut microbiome and metabolome to promote gut immunity for the benefit of preventing
diarrheal diseases that increase risk for malnutrition and stunting.
The investigators hope to learn about the feasibility of dietary supplementation of
heat-stabilized rice bran in weaning children living in regions with increased susceptibility
to diarrhea and malnutrition, and whether or not rice bran consumption can modulate the stool
microbiome and metabolome.
