What this could lead to

If successful, this could establish a standard pre-surgery nutrition plan that lowers infection, bleeding, and other major complications for IBD patients.

What could go wrong

This is a single-center study with 150 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patients. The nutrition shakes are already standard of care, so the added benefit may be small.
