SBS arm specific: History of SBS diagnosis. History of short bowel syndrome based on surgical/imaging records. Small bowel is in continuity with some portion of colon
Control arm specific: No history of intestinal pathologies
No or negligible amount (few bites of fiber-containing foods okay) of fiber in tube feeds or by mouth at baseline
Less than 20% calories from oral food not containing fiber while the other 80% may be by enteral and/or parenteral feedings
At least 20% calories from fiber-free formula taken orally or via tube
Antibiotic use is allowed, however, should be on a stable regimen of antibiotics starting from 2 weeks prior to intervention until end of study or end of week 3 whichever is sooner
Previous history of fiber introduction failure is acceptable as long as clinically stable at the time of recruitment
Fiber supplementation is appropriate per primary physician

Control Arm specific: has baseline intestinal diseases
Small bowel and colon not in continuity (Ex: presence of ileostomy or jejunostomy)

What this trial measures

  • Clinical tolerance3 weeks-6 months

    To assess the rate of clinical intolerance leading to discontinuation of green beans and symptoms/signs associated with discontinuation of fiber addition in SBS vs controls (no score/scale will be used)
