Key Words Caecal pH; Caecoparesis; Bloating; Colonic microbiota; Fermentation
Core Tip Colonic bacterial fermentation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome. Hitherto, the measurement of fermentation in vivo in humans has been invasive and technically challenging. A major by product of colonic bacterial fermentation are short chain fatty acids. These short chain fatty acids act to reduce colonic pH. Herein, we demonstrate that the measurement of caecal ph using the wireless motility capsule provides a quantifiable biomarker of fermentation potentially identifying those patients with irritable bowel syndrome that may preferentially benefit from antibiotic or dietary interventions.
