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.
