Summary

This trial tests whether giving patients a carbohydrate-rich drink before ileostomy reversal surgery helps their bowels start working again sooner. After ileostomy reversal, up to 30% of people experience a temporary slowdown in bowel function, causing nausea, bloating, and longer hospital stays. The study will compare those who receive the carbohydrate drink to those who get a placebo, measuring when they pass gas, have bowel sounds, and can eat solid food.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Carbohydrate drink
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple pre-surgery drink could help people recover bowel function faster after ileostomy reversal, shortening hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to everyone. The drink may not speed recovery or could cause discomfort.
