New treatment option for Bowel Dysfunction
Official title Enteral Feeding of Fibre to Improve Microbiota

What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Following surgical removal of diseased bowel, patients often require a temporary redirection of bowel contents to a stoma, to allow healing prior to re-joining of the remaining bowel at a later date. Some patients may experience complications, either during or after reversal surgery, and this may be due to changes in the 'friendly' bacteria that live in our bowels.
