Comparing two colonoscopy prep diets
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of preparing for a colonoscopy: using a prepackaged low-residue diet versus getting personal guidance on what to eat. The goal is to see which approach leads to a cleaner colon, which can make the procedure more effective.

This study tests whether a diet education program can change the balance of gut bacteria and bile acids to lower the risk of colorectal cancer in people who have had polyps removed.
This trial tests if a special pre-packaged low-residue diet can improve bowel preparation for colonoscopy in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It aims to make the prep easier and more effective.
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 study tests whether a ready-to-eat low-residue diet (a diet that leaves very little waste in your colon) helps people with IBD prepare for a colonoscopy. It may make the prep easier and more effective than standard bowel-cleansing drinks.
This study tests a personalized, non-drug method to improve bowel preparation for colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy and need to take laxatives, this approach might help you get better results.
This trial compares two ways to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy: a 4-liter split-dose of a laxative plus two other medications versus a 2-liter split-dose with a gas-relief medication. The goal is to see which works better and is easier to tolerate.
