Colonic Transit at 24 Hours
Colonic transit: Geometric centre at 24 hours (GC24) was estimated using geometric mean of counts in ascending (AC), transverse (TC), descending (DC) and rectosigmoid (RS) colon and stool (weighted by factors of 1 to 5 respectively). To calculate the geometric centre, the proportion of colonic counts in each colonic region was multiplied by its weighing factor: (% AC \*1 + % TC \*2 + % DC \*3 + % RS \*4 + % stool \* 5 ) divided by 100.
Time frame: Day 13 (Day 12 24 hours post-meal)
Proximal Colonic Emptying Time
Estimated by power exponential analysis of the proportionate emptying over time of counts from the colon.
Time frame: Day 12 to 14
Colonic Transit at 48 Hours
Colonic transit: Geometric centre at 48 hours (GC48) was estimated using geometric mean of counts in ascending (AC), transverse (TC), descending (DC) and rectosigmoid (RS) colon and stool (weighted by factors of 1 to 5 respectively). To calculate the geometric centre, the proportion of colonic counts in each colonic region was multiplied by its weighing factor: (% AC \*1 + % TC \*2 + % DC \*3 + % RS \*4 + % stool \* 5 ) divided by 100.
Time frame: Day 14 (Day 12 48 hours post-meal)
Colonic Filling at 6 Hours
A surrogate marker of small bowel transit time.
Time frame: Day 12
Time to Gastric Emptying
Ascending colon emptying t½ was estimated by power exponential analysis of the proportionate emptying over time of counts from the colon.
Time frame: Day 12: 2 hours, 4 hours
Mean Number of Stools Per Day
Number of stools passed on each notional day where each visit to the toilet counts as one stool (only) unless nothing is passed. Mean of 3 days.

Time frame: Day 11 to 13
Mean Score of Stool Consistency Per Day
Calculated by averaging the values of the stool form given at each visit to the toilet on each notional day. Mean of 3 days. Range of possible scores: 1 (hard lumps) to 7 (watery).
Time frame: Day 11 to 13
Average Score of Ease of Passage During Defecation Per Day
Calculated by averaging the values given for the ease of passage at each visit to the toilet on each notional day. Mean of 3 days. Range of possible scores: 1 (Manual disimpaction) to 7 (Incontinent).
Time frame: Day 11 to 13
Mean Proportion of Bowel Movements With Satisfaction Per Day
The number of stools with satisfaction of "Yes" divided by the total number of stools passed on each notional day. Mean of 3 days.
Time frame: Day 11 to 13
