Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of dietary fiber on intestinal function in healthy subjects.
Detailed Description
In the intervention study normal weight participants will receive defined amounts of different cereal flakes for several days. Before and after intervention parameters of intestinal function will be assessed.
