Could refeeding ostomy contents speed up bowel recovery?
NCT ID NCT06461559
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a simple idea: before surgery to reverse an ileostomy, participants will infuse their own ostomy contents back into the inactive part of their intestine. The goal is to 'retrain' that section to handle digestion again, potentially speeding up recovery after the operation. About 20 adults with a temporary ileostomy will take part.
