Summary:OBJECTIVE:: To determine the tolerance of increasing dosages of an incompletely hydrolysed and/or incompletely absorbed food dextrin coming from wheat starch, NUTRIOSE super(+)FB, at daily levels of 10 and 15g up to 60 and 80g, respectively. DESIGN:: A randomized, double-blind, multiple dose, placebo-controlled, combined crossover and parallel trial. SETTING:: The metabolic ward of TNO Nutrition and Food Research. SUBJECTS:: A total of 20 healthy men (age 31.7c9.1y; BMI 24.5c2.9kg/m super(2)). INTERVENTION:: One group of 10 subjects consumed on top of their diet 10, 30 and 60g of NUTRIOSE super(+)FB or maltodextrin (placebo) daily. The other group of 10 subjects consumed 15, 45 and 80g daily. Each dose was consumed for 7 days. RESULTS:: Compared with placebo, flatulence occurred more frequently over the last 6 days on 30, 60 or 80g/day of NUTRIOSE super(+)FB (P
