Summary

This study looks at how the bowel-cleansing liquid used before a colonoscopy affects the gut bacteria in people who have had their appendix removed. Researchers will compare these changes to those in people with an intact appendix. The goal is to understand the appendix's role in helping gut bacteria recover after the bowel is cleaned out.
