PEG laxatives for bowel prep and gut health after gallbladder removal
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a colonoscopy that uses a PEG-based bowel prep.
- If you have had your gallbladder removed, it must have been at least 6 months ago.
- You are willing to mail in stool samples at 5 specific times (before the colonoscopy, after your first bowel movement, and at 1, 3, and 6 months).
- You have not used antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics in the last 6 months.
- You do not have serious health problems like severe heart/lung issues, bleeding disorders, liver cirrhosis, advanced kidney disease, or uncontrolled diabetes.

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 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.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and gut chemical products change after treatment for gallstones. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and recovery after surgery and/or endoscopic procedures.
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 trial tests a new way to prepare the bowel before a colonoscopy in people with cirrhosis. It aims to see if the modified preparation is safer and works better for you.
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.
