Effects of Juice on Gastrointestinal Tolerance and Breath Hydrogen Response in Human Subjects

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Food Selection

In brief

The goal of this study is to determine subjective gastrointestinal tolerance response and differences in breath hydrogen response following the consumption of two types of juice. This double-blind crossover study requires participants to arrive to the lab 12 hours fasted, consume 12 oz of juice and complete gastrointestinal tolerance questionnaires as well as produce samples for breath hydrogen analysis at various time points over the next 3 hours. Subjects will be asked to complete additional questionnaires at 12 and 24 hours post consumption, from home. Subjects will also be asked to keep a food record for 24 hours prior to their scheduled visit times to assure compliance.
