Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study outcome is gastric emptying (and the variation in that<br /><br>measurement). Gastric emptying will be measured with a non-invasive breath<br /><br>test. The subject will come in fasting state to the research centre and ingest<br /><br>the test product which is labelled with 13C. The test foods consist of 2<br /><br>chocolate flavoured milk products, differing in viscosity. Breath samples will<br /><br>be collected before consumption of the food and at 15 minute intervals during 3<br /><br>hours. Breath samples will be analyzed on concentration of 13C. 13C recovery<br /><br>(T1/2 and Tlag) will be used as a measure for gastric emptying. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Appetite and wellbeing ratings will be measured during the test by means of<br /><br>Visual Analogue Scales.</p><br>
