Brief summary

Probands with an Ileo- or Colostomy are assigned to consume a test meal which is either high in fat or high in carbohydrates. After the test meal samples from the stoma, urine, blood and skin are retrieved. These will be subjected to large scale analyses of microbiota and metabolite content. To get a better comparability test subjects will consume a standardized liquid diet three days before the study day.

Detailed description

Between both study days a two week wash out phase will be done. During the study day sampling will be done at set time points until 8 hours after the consumption of the test meal.

Interventions

OTHERTest meal (high fat = Nutricia Calogen®, or high carbohydrate = Nutricia preOp®)

After a night fast participants will drink the test meal
