Each intervention will contain a different type of starch: A) Resistant starch B) Slow digestible starch C) Rapid digestible starch Each intervention will contain a preparation day, a meal challenge test day at clinic, a 14-day dietary intervention at home followed by a follow up visit at clinic. The interventions will be separated with a 14-day wash-out period, where participants are consuming their normal food.
