This is a pilot study and will be used to power an NIH grant application on the effect of resistant starch on weight gain in children.
Stool fatty acids and stool pH from the baseline and week 4 stool samples will be compared by paired-t test. The stool microflora changes will be reported using descriptive statistics for the percent changes in the different bacterial phyla.

Effect of resistant starch on weight gain in children
During the 4 weeks while still consuming the yogurt supplements, 3 daily stool samples will be collected in the same manner as the baseline stool collections. Stool fatty acids from the baseline and week 4 stool samples will be compared by paired-t test. The stool microflora changes will be reported using descriptive statistics for the percent changes in the different bacterial phyla.
Time frame: Four weeks
