Arm Description

This arm is the 8-week observation period before the p-inulin treatment phase.

This arm is the 8 week p-inulin treatment phase (8 grams twice daily, oral).

This arm is the 8-week observation period after the p-inulin treatment phase.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change within-patient in the metabolomic profile and targeted metabolites / inflammatory markers during the no treatment phases and the p-inulin treatment phase.
Metabolomic Profile: the relative abundance of metabolites, determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), will be quantified under each condition and compared between groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Within-patient change in the metabolomic profile and targeted metabolites / inflammatory markers after p-inulin treatment compared with pre-treatment.
Metabolomic Profile: the relative abundance of metabolites, determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), will be quantified under each condition and compared between groups.
Within-patient variability in the bacterial composition of the stool during the no treatment phase.
Bacterial Composition: the relative abundance of bacterial taxa, as determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, will be quantified.
