How bowel prep affects gut bacteria recovery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bowel preparation medicine (PEG) used before a colonoscopy affects the bacteria living in your gut and how well they recover afterward. Healthy volunteers will take the bowel prep and provide stool samples to help researchers understand this process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how a common bowel prep medicine (PEG laxatives) affects gut bacteria in people who have had their gallbladder removed compared to those who still have one. It involves collecting stool samples before and after a colonoscopy to track changes over time.
This study tests if a bowel-cleaning solution (PEG) works well before colonoscopy. It compares people who have had their appendix removed to those who haven't.
This study tests whether combining an electrolyte beverage (a drink with salts and minerals) with polyethylene glycol—a standard bowel-cleaning solution—helps prepare your colon better for colonoscopy. The goal is to see if this combination makes the preparation easier to tolerate while still cleaning your bowel effectively.
This study looks at what factors might make it harder to clean out your bowel before a colonoscopy. Understanding these reasons could help doctors give better instructions and improve success rates.
This trial compares two different bowel preparation solutions (2L-PEG and oral sulfate solution) for people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having a colonoscopy. The goal is to find which preparation works better and is more comfortable for patients with these conditions.
This study looks at factors that affect how well the bowel is cleaned before a colonoscopy in people with IBD. The goal is to improve preparation so the colonoscopy can be more effective.
