Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to assess the tolerance and utilization of agave inulin. This will be accomplished through analyses of breath and fecal samples to quantify fermentation end-products- hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane will be measured in the breath, and short-chain fatty acids, ammonia, phenol, and indole will be measured in feces. Microbial populations will also be measured in fecal samples.
