Lead investigator, RMIT’s Professor Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh, said current non-invasive methods of measuring intestinal gas were unreliable. "Being able to accurately measure intestinal gases could accelerate our knowledge about how specific gut microorganisms contribute to gastrointestinal disorders and food intake efficiency, enabling the development of new diagnostic techniques and treatments,” he said.
He also said that these high-tech capsules could also help people work out precisely how particular foods affect their guts. "With nearly half of Australia’s population complaining of digestive problems in any 12 month period, this technology could be the simple tool we need to methodically tailor our diets to our individual bodies and improve our digestive health,” the professor added.
