Repopulation of the gut microbiota after a screening colonoscopy
These results quantitatively demonstrate the magnitude of the significant changes in microbial relative abundance and diversity immediately post-colonoscopy. The timing of repopulation aligned with changes in fiber intake after the procedure. These data highlight the importance of nutrition after a screening colonoscopy in reestablishing a healthy microbiome.
