Study Summary

This trial is studying the gut microbiome of people having surgery and whether certain diets can change the microbiome in a way that leads to better surgical outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish-speaking individuals scheduled for major abdominal colorectal surgery with intestinal resection in at least two weeks. It excludes those who are hearing impaired, without smartphone access, homeless, decisionally impaired, lacking an ileostomy prior to surgery, or having a procedure without intestinal resection.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates the impact of preoperative diets on the gut microbiome and surgical outcomes. Participants will follow specific diets that are either fermented or high-fiber/low-fat before their abdominal surgeries to see if these can improve recovery and reduce infections.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include digestive discomfort due to dietary changes such as bloating or gas from high-fiber intake and possible nutritional deficiencies if the diet lacks essential nutrients.

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~30 days after surgery
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and 30 days after surgery for reporting.
