Study design. All the subjects participated in 3 intervention periods, each encompassing 14 consecutive days (± 1 day) separated by a 2-week wash-out period and preceded by a run-in period of 14 days and followed by a 14-day run-out period. Three sampling schemes overlay the timeline of the study. Microbial composition scheme indicates the days at which subjects collected ileal effluent samples at home. SCFA and microbial activity indicates the days at which subjects will participate in test days, where they filled in VAS scales to assess gastrointestinal symptoms, received standardised meals and collected urine and ileal effluent samples. Sugar permeability test scheme indicates the days at which intestinal permeability was assessed
