Study Summary
Consumption of a high-fiber diet, often consisting of beans and vegetables, is recommended for improvements in overall health. Unfortunately, intake of the above-mentioned foods is often associated with a significant increase in intestinal gas production. In addition to gas, abdominal bloating, cramping, and associated symptoms can prove unacceptable-leading people to limit or abandon the consumption of bean-rich meals. In an attempt to reduce gas formation and the ensuing symptoms, various anti-gas products have been developed and are sold on the market. One such non-prescription product is Beano, a solution of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase. In addition to alpha-galactosidase, activated charcoal has also been used successfully in some, but not all, studies and may be a good option for certain individuals. CharcoCaps® is a branded form of activated charcoal that has been sold for several years.That said, no controlled studies have been conducted using CharcoCaps®. This study will investigate the effects of ingesting CharcoCaps® before and following the meal on the amount of gas produced, the number of flatus events, and associated symptoms of GI distress during the 6-hour post meal ingestion period.
