This is a new, commercially available, over-the-counter fiber supplement that combines 8 fibers. The varied nature of the fibers in this product is designed to create a more diverse microbiome (bacteria that live within the human GI tract). In general, the more diverse the microbiome the less inflammatory the gut. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a new fiber product on bloating, gas, and bowel movements.
