Summary

Inulin-type fructans (ITF) are fermentable dietary fibres that can confer beneficial health effects through changes in the gut microbiota. However, their effect on gut sensitivity and nutritional behaviour is a matter of debate.

The investigators evaluated, in healthy individuals, the impact of shifting from their usual food habits towards a diet based on the daily consumption of ITF-rich vegetables on gut microbiota, gastro-intestinal symptoms and food-related behaviour.
