Resistant maltodextrin (RMD) is an indigestible water soluble fiber that increases fecal bulk by enhancing growth of specific microbial populations; however the effect of RMD on bifidobacteria and total fecal weight is not clear. The purpose of this research study is to determine whether incorporating about ¼ cup of a fiber supplement into the diet will induce beneficial changes in gastrointestinal function, the fecal microbiota profile (increased number of healthy bacteria in stool) and immune processes resulting in improved quality of life.
