Abstract
Because of a suggested relationship between dietary fiber and a number of diseases of the large bowel, most studies have concentrated on the effects of dietary fiber on the function and morphology in the large bowel. However, as large-bowel changes may be the result of reactions taking place farther upstream, there is an increasing interest in the effects of diet on the internal milieu of the small intestine.
