Detailed description

The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study it involves a total of 8 visits with a 14 day run-in period for total study duration of 84 days. A washout period of 2 weeks will occur in between the 2, 28 day treatment periods. The effects of an oat bran beverage for breakfast on bowel function will be tested after 2 week and 4 weeks of intake.
