First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tests whether chewing gum after open stomach or bowel surgery helps the gut start working again sooner. About 96 adults having surgery will either chew gum or not, and doctors will measure when they first pass gas and have a bowel movement. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost trick can reduce hospital stays and discomfort.
