Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Nutrient Gaps
Assess nutrient gaps by dietary record assessment utilizing The Automated Self-Administered 24-hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool
Secondary outcomes
Nutrient Status Markers
Circulating concentrations of nutrient status (homocysteine, folate, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Zinc)
Gut Microbiome
Examine changes in the gut microbiome via fecal metagenomics
Other outcomes
GI Symptoms
The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale will be provided to assess the effect of the intervention on GI symptoms. Scores range from 1 to 7 with a higher score indicating a higher level of discomfort
Digestive Quality of Life
A Digestive Quality of Life Questionnaire (DQLQ) will be utilized to assess the effect of the interventions on participant's digestive health. Scores range from 0 to 9 with a higher score indicating worse digestion associated with quality of life
Functional Impairment
The Sheehan Disability Scale will be utilized to assess functional impairment.
Ingestive Behavior
Food cravings will be measured using the General Food Cravings Questionnaire.
