Chewing gum: the surprising Post-Surgery remedy?

NCT ID NCT06029790

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether chewing gum after colorectal surgery can help reduce nausea, vomiting, and get the bowels working again sooner. 84 adults who had laparoscopic colorectal surgery took part. The idea is that chewing tricks the body into thinking it's eating, which may stimulate the gut and speed up recovery.
