Summary

This study looks at whether a 10-day low-residue diet (low fiber) helps bowel function return to normal faster than a 6-week low-residue diet after elective colon surgery. About 222 adults having colon resection will be randomly assigned to one of the two diets. Participants will complete surveys about bowel function and quality of life for up to 3 months to compare recovery and complication rates.
