Influence of Three Different Fiber‐Supplemented Enteral Diets on Bowel Function and Short‐Chain Fatty Acid Production

Abstract

Compared with a fiber-free polymeric enteral diet, the daily consumption of an enteral diet supplemented with 30 g of total dietary fiber per day derived from a poorly fermentable oat fiber, a highly fermentable soy oligosaccharide fiber, or a moderately fermentable soy polysaccharide fiber has little impact, if any, on bowel function.
