Study Summary

A randomized placebo controlled trial to determine if increased dietary fiber will prevent weight gain, inhibit adiposity and reduce perceived stress levels in residents at the Waco Family Health Center as the result of changes in distal gut microbiota composition and function.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will use the following procedure to assess the effect of Prebiotin (OEI) on changes in body weight: there will be two test days: a) baseline (Day 0), prior to randomization to OEI or placebo; and b) week 12, following the 11 week course of OEI/placebo treatment. The investigators will use OEI for the inulin challenge. Change in body weight will be quantified by bio electrical impedance.
