Real time in vivo methods are needed to better understand the interplay between diet and the gastrointestinal microbiota. Therefore, a rodent indirect calorimetry system was equipped with hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) sensors. H<sub>2</sub> production was readily detected in C57BL/6J mice and followed a circadian rhythm. H<sub>2</sub> production was increased within 12 hours after first exposure to a lowly-digestible starch diet (LDD) compared to a highly-digestible starc ...[more]
