The Nutrition and Gut Microbiome Lab is recruiting volunteers

Our lab on the Spokane campus is recruiting 24 volunteers to provide human stool samples to study the effect of foods on the gut microbiota. Participants must be 18–50 years old, BMI of at least 18.5, and in good metabolic and digestive health and not to have consumed quinoa in the previous 7 days. We are only asking for a stool sample from a normal bowel movement during your normal diet. The compensation for providing a viable stool sample is a $40 gift card to Safeway, Walmart, Yoke’s Fresh Market, Fred Meyer, or Rosauers Supermarkets.

Certain diseases and conditions may disqualify you from participation. If you are interested in participating, please complete this application to determine your initial eligibility. If you pre‑qualify, we will contact you to schedule an information meeting to determine your final eligibility. As a volunteer, even after agreeing to participate, you can discontinue the study at any time.
