Digesting plant proteins: a study in people with ileostomy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your body digests different plant-based proteins. You may help by providing samples through your ileostomy, so researchers can understand which proteins are easiest to absorb.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
