Introducing a Plant-Based Diet for Patients With Colorectal Diseases

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diet, Healthy, Colorectal Cancer

In brief

Dietary patterns are a potentially modifiable risk factor for colon cancer recurrence, flares in inflammatory bowel diseases, and for chronic diseases. Nutritional counseling is rarely brought up during medical appointment. As a result, patients are often left confused regarding which specific dietary recommendation to follow after surgical treatment. A plant-based diet is naturally high in fiber and is beneficial to long-term health, especially for patients with colorectal diseases. The aims of this study are to: 1. Determine whether an educational intervention is effective in increasing intake of plants 2. Identify barriers and facilitators to adoption of a plant-based diet among patients with colorectal diseases 3. Identify secondary health gains related to adoption of a plant-based diet.
