The Relationship Between Fiber Intake and Gut Bacterial Diversity and Composition During the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
This research suggests that general fiber intake during pregnancy has a modest association with the gut bacterial community. These preliminary results demonstrate a need to improve fiber intake during pregnancy. Further, studies that measure the relationship between dietary intake of specific types of fiber and associations with specific gut bacterial community members and their functions are needed.
