Fiber food trial for short bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if adding high-fiber foods can help people with short bowel syndrome (a condition where part of the small intestine is missing or removed). You will be asked to eat fiber-rich foods and the study team will see how your body handles them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated at UT Southwestern outpatient clinics.
- You have short bowel syndrome (your small intestine is shorter than normal but still connected to part of your colon).
- You currently eat little to no fiber (a few bites are okay).
- Most of your calories come from tube feeding or IV nutrition, not from regular food.
- You are willing to add high-fiber foods to your diet during the study.

This trial tests if slowly adding fiber to the diet helps children with short bowel syndrome. It looks at how fiber affects digestion and overall health.
This trial tests if crofelemer can reduce diarrhea and fluid loss in people with short bowel syndrome who have a stoma (no colon connection) and need intravenous nutrition or fluids. The goal is to see if it improves gut function and quality of life.
This study tests a new treatment called FT1 for people with short bowel syndrome. It aims to help you absorb more nutrients and fluids from food, potentially reducing the need for IV nutrition.
This Phase 2 study tests whether sonefpeglutide is safe and how the body handles it (pharmacokinetics) in people with short bowel syndrome. It may help people who still need nutrition through a tube because their intestinal condition is stable.
This trial tests a new medication called glepaglutide to see if it can help people with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who need IV nutrition or fluids at least 3 days a week. The goal is to reduce or even stop the need for these IV treatments.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut help your digestive system adapt after short bowel surgery. Researchers will track your microbiota (the trillions of bacteria in your gut) to understand how it changes and helps your body adjust to having less small intestine.
