SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks

Population: The criteria used to quantify GI discomforts or issues included participants who responded 'yes' to any GI discomfort and rated the discomfort level ≥3 out of a 5-point scale.

Other outcomes include palatability and acceptability of study-provided snacks that include cooked navy bean powder, rice bran, or a combination in children. The participants will fill out questionaires describing how the products tasted and how much they consumed.
