Intestinal gas production after ingestion of study diet (rice, wheat, and mung bean noodle).
| Intestinal Gas | Rice | Wheat | Mung Bean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean Hydrogen (ppm) | 4.8 ± 3.8 | 8.7 ± 5.6 * | 4.9 ± 3.6 |
| Mean Methane (ppm) | 2.0 ± 1.4 | 3.4 ± 2.4 * | 2.0 ± 1.2 |
| Peak Hydrogen (ppm) | 11.7 ± 9.3 | 21.5 ± 16.3 * | 11.9 ± 10.1 |
| Peak Methane (ppm) | 4.8 ± 3.4 | 8.2 ± 6.3 # | 5.4 ± 3.2 |
| AUC Hydrogen (ppm-min) | 2267 ± 1780 | 4120 ± 2622 * | 2356 ± 1722 |
| AUC Methane (ppm-min) | 946 ± 664 | 1617 ± 1127 * | 943 ± 584 |
* = p < 0.05 wheat vs. rice and mung bean, # = p < 0.05 wheat vs. rice. AUC; area under the curve
