Dietary fibre fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that lower colonic luminal pH, influencing host responses that contribute to blood pressure (BP) regulation. Fibre intake also alters gastrointestinal transit time, which has been linked to hypertension prevalence. Here, we aimed to determine the gastrointestinal pH and transit time in patients with hypertension. Using the SmartPill Motility Testing System, we assessed gastrointestinal pH and transit time in 55 participants with...
