Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A 3 x 3 double blind crossover study examining butyrylated high amylose maize starch at 3 dose rates (a) 5 g/d (b) 20 g/d (c) 40 g/d. There are 3 intervention periods of 14 days with a 7 day 'wash out' period between each intervention. The starch is to be ingested orally by way of combination (starch plus long life milk).
Intervention code [1] 264529 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
The butyrylated high amylose maize starch will be compared at 3 different doses (5 g/d, 20 g/d and 40 g/d).
Control group
Dose comparison

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266697 0
To quantify the release of butyrate in the colon. Butyrate concentrations in faecal samples will be analysed using standard distillation procedures and gas chromatography.
Timepoint [1] 266697 0
At the beginning and end of each 14 day test period.
Primary outcome [2] 266698 0
To determine the effects of consumption of the 3 doses of butyrylated high amylose maize starch on FAP patients' gastrointestinal quality of life using a validated assessement tool for evaluating the quality of life and distress for gastrointestinal symptoms (Eypasch et al., 1995 Gastrointestinal quality of life index: development, validation and application of a new instrument; British Journal of Surgery, 82, 216-222.)
Timepoint [2] 266698 0
At baseline and the end of each test period.
Secondary outcome [1] 276213 0
To examine the normal diet of FAP patients using repeated 24 hour diet diaries which will be collected for 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day.
Timepoint [1] 276213 0
At baseline and during the 2 washout periods.
