This study is looking at how a soluble fiber called inulin (Fruitafit Inulin) might affect asthma in children aged 6 to 17. You might be able to join if you have an asthma diagnosis from the last two years and either a high FeNO (fractional exhaled nitric oxide, a measure of airway inflammation) or a history of environmental allergies. The study wants to see if increasing fiber intake can change the types of microbes in your gut and potentially improve asthma. Success in this study will be measured by changes in "alpha diversity," which refers to the variety of bacteria in your gut, after 6 weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to receive either inulin or a placebo. The study plans to enroll 105 children.

What's involved
