New study aims to define mysterious bowel syndrome after colon surgery

This study looks at people who have had their entire colon removed and their small intestine connected directly to their rectum. Researchers want to understand how common and how severe bowel symptoms like diarrhea, urgency, and leakage are after this surgery, and how these symptoms affect quality of life. The study is observational and involves questionnaires, with no extra medical procedures. About 30 adults will participate for one year.
