RECRUITING

Regular Diet Versus Extended Low Residue After Colon Surgery

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a 10 day low-residue diet restriction is better for bowel function and quality of life without increasing complications compared to a 6 week low-residue diet restriction after elective colon resection surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a shorter time period of low residue restriction result in a faster return to normal bowel function? Are there any differences in complication rate between a 10 day low-residue diet restriction compared to a 6 week low-residue diet restriction? Participants will be randomized to one of the two diet plans and will be asked to answer surveys about their bowel function and health care related quality of life at various time points for up to 3 months.
