Brief summary

This study aims to quantify whether the co-consumption of a high fibre beverage can alter dietary fat absorption of a high fat breakfast meal in ileostomates.

Interventions

The study is a randomised 2x2 factorial design with a high/low fibre beverage consumed with a high (65%)/moderate (40%) fat breakfast test meal. Participants will maintain a typical 'western diet' (total fat providing 30% of daily Energy) for the duration of the intervention. Participants will consume each of the 4 test meals over a two week period to allow for adequate washout period (4 days)between test meals. Dietary compliance will be assessed by dietary records. Ileal efflux is collected a

Participants will consume each of the 4 test meals over a two week period to allow for adequate washout period (4 days)between test meals. Dietary compliance will be assessed by dietary records. Ileal efflux is collected at regular intervals (2 hours) for the duration of the study to measure fat excretion.
