Just right: study tests drink strength for ileostomy patients
NCT ID NCT07231666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested how the concentration (osmolality) of oral drinks affects the amount of output from an ileostomy over 6 hours. Fourteen adults with an ileostomy took part in a crossover trial where they tried different drink concentrations. The goal was to find the optimal balance that minimizes fluid loss and helps manage hydration.
