| The Patients who are employed for the study under preoperative colorectal cancer will be followed up everyday till surgery with the intervention of Fermented rice and Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG). Postoperative colostomy patients will be followed up everyday for 6 weeks with the intervention of fermented rice and partially hydrolyzed guar gum during the hospital stay and once discharged the patient will be followed up through regular hospital visits/phone calls for the better management.Timepoint: Till surgery (Preoperative), 6 weeks(Postoperative) | — |
