Could a 10-Day diet beat 6 weeks after colon surgery?
NCT ID NCT07083076
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short 10-day low-residue diet after colon surgery helps bowel function return to normal faster than the usual 6-week restriction. About 222 adults having elective colon resection will be randomly assigned to one of the two diet plans. Participants will complete surveys on bowel function and quality of life for up to 3 months to compare outcomes and complication rates.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dietary restriction (low-residue diet)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a shorter diet restriction helps patients return to normal bowel function faster without raising complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (222 participants) comparing two diet plans, so results may not apply to all patients. Diet changes alone are unlikely to be a major breakthrough.
