ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called "Personalized GI Motility Responses to Diet," aims to investigate how different types of grains—whole grains versus refined grains—affect the way our digestive system works and how these foods influence our overall health. Researchers want to understand how eating these grains changes the movement of food through the gut, the production of useful substances by gut bacteria, and the levels of important health markers like blood sugar and cholesterol after eating.
The study is looking for healthy men and women aged 18 to 65 who do not have certain medical conditions like diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, or who have not recently taken antibiotics. Participants will wear a small device that tracks how their stomach and intestines respond to meals over an 8-hour period and will also provide a stool sample to help researchers learn more about their gut bacteria. If you join the trial, you’ll help us better understand how our diet can impact our gut health and overall well-being!
