Plant chemical study for people with an ileostomy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how plant chemicals (called polyphenols) are absorbed in people with an ileostomy. It aims to understand digestion and could help guide future nutrition advice for ileostomy patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have an ileostomy (a stoma where waste leaves the body through the abdomen) that was created more than 1 year ago.
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 18 and 28 (a healthy range).
- You must be a non-smoker and not vape.
- You must not have taken antibiotics in the last 3 months, and cannot take certain supplements (like plant extracts or vitamins) for 2 weeks before the study.
- You must be able to attend in-person visits (not housebound) and not be in another medical study right now.

This trial tests a new device called Stomasense that aims to detect and manage leaks from an ileostomy pouch earlier. It's for people who have had their ileostomy for at least 18 months and experience frequent leaks (more than once a week).
This study looks at how well your body digests different plant-based proteins. You may help by providing samples through your ileostomy, so researchers can understand which proteins are easiest to absorb.
This trial looks at how well your body absorbs certain medications if you have an ileostomy or colostomy. It aims to help doctors better understand dosing for people with ostomies.
This study looks at the skin around and away from your stoma to understand what makes healthy skin. It may help improve future stoma care products.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
This study tests how well your body absorbs nutrients from chickpeas after you have an ileostomy. You will eat chickpea-based meals, and researchers will measure what passes through your stoma to learn about digestion.
