Healthy, overweight adults with high Prevotella abundances lost more weight when consuming a diet rich in WG and fiber ad libitum for 6 wk, which supports enterotypes as a potential biomarker in personalized nutrition for obesity management.
Patients with FI may experience a reduction in FI frequency after psyllium supplementation, and decreased FI frequency has been shown to be an important personal goal of treatment for patients with FI.

Insight into the actions of pea fiber and its impact on modulating microbiota-host-metabolic axes in obesity is provided, including an increase in the SCFA producer Lachnospira in the PF group and decrease in the CO group.
[Abstract]: Objective To determine the effects of supplemental fiber on plasma p-cresol, stool frequency, and quality of life (QoL) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Design and Setting In a 12-week single-blind study, participants were provided with co
Fiber supplementation is effective at improving constipation and particularly, psyllium, doses >10 g/d and treatment durations of at least 4 weeks appear optimal, though caution is needed when interpreting the results due to considerable heterogeneity.
