Mode of Action of Psyllium in Reducing Gas Production from Inulin and its Interaction with Colonic Microbiota: A 24-hour, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Human Volunteers. Journal of Nutrition, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.12.017

Background
Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH2) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin are reduced by coadministering psyllium (PI).

Objectives
To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it... Read More about Mode of Action of Psyllium in Reducing Gas Production from Inulin and its Interaction with Colonic Microbiota: A 24-hour, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Human Volunteers.

Non-starch polysaccharides in beer and brewing: A review of their occurrence and significance (2022)
Journal Article
Reid, J. E. S. J., Yakubov, G. E., & Lawrence, S. J. (2024). Non-starch polysaccharides in beer and brewing: A review of their occurrence and significance. Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 64, 837-851. https://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2022.2109585

It has become apparent that beer (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic) contains appreciable amounts of non-starch polysaccharides, a broad subgroup of dietary fiber. It is worth noting that the occurrence of non-starch polysaccharides in alcoholic beer d...
