Measurement of Whole Gut Transit Time After a Dietary Fiber Treatment Using a Wireless Motility Capsule
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SmartPill for Food Selection. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Research suggests dietary fiber may decrease transit time through the gastrointestinal tract. Research studies traditionally use radio-opaque markers to determine gastric emptying, colonic transit, and whole gut transit time. The SmartPill is a single use pill that can be used to determine gastric emptying, colonic transit, and whole gut transit time without requiring X-rays or fecal collections. Previous studies have found radio-opaque markers and the SmartPill detect the similar transit times. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if the SmartPill can detect a change in transit time using a significant dose of dietary fiber.
