Brief Summary

Meal ingestion induces digestive responses associated to homeostatic and hedonic sensations. The responses to meal ingestion are modulated by conditioning factors. Single-centre, cross-over, random, open label study comparing the effect of a high-fat/low-residue diet versus low-fat/high residue diet on the responses to meal ingestion. In 20 healthy subjects each diet will be administered during 2 weeks in random order; each diet will be preceded by 2 weeks washout, balanced diet. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of each diet on the responses to comfort and flatulogenic meals, intestinal gas production and digestive sensations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in digestive well-being induced by comfort meal1 day

Change in digestive well-being measured by a 10 cm scale graded from -5 (extremely unpleasant sensation) to +5 (extremely pleasant sensation) in response to comfort meal during high-fat versus high-residue diet by repeated measures ANCOVA.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in fullness sensation induced by comfort meal1 day

Change in fullness sensation measured by a 10 cm scale graded from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very much) in response to comfort meal during high-fat versus high-residue diet by repeated measures ANCOVA.

Change in hunger/satiety induced by comfort meal1 day

Change in hunger/satiety measured by a 10 cm scale graded from -5 (extremely hungry) to +5 (completely satiated) in response to comfort meal during high-fat versus high-residue diet by repeated measures ANCOVA.

Change in mood induced by comfort meal1 day

Change in mood measured by a 10 cm scale graded from -5 (negative) to +5 (positive) in response to comfort meal during high-fat versus high-residue diet by repeated measures ANCOVA.

Intestinal gas evacuation in response to a flatulogenic meal.1 day

Volume of intestinal gas evacuation per anus measured during 4 hours after ingestion of a flatulogenic meal during high-fat versus high-residue diet.

Intestinal gas production2 days

Number of daytime anal gas evacuations measured by an event marker. Participants will be instructed to carry the event marker during daytime and to register every passage of gas per anus for the last two days during high-fat versus high-residue diet.

Sensation of flatulence2 days

Sensation of flatulence measured by a 10 cm scale graded from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very much) for the last two days during high-fat versus high-residue diet.
