Postbiotic gummies after GI cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking postbiotic gummies (a type of supplement that helps good gut bacteria) can help your gut recover faster after surgery for stomach, colon, or other gastrointestinal cancers. It is for people having scheduled, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery to remove their cancer.
