                                Following intestinal surgery involving anastomosis, a specialized diet is nearly always required to promote proper healing. This modified diet helps reduce the stress on the newly connected bowel sections, minimizing complications like irritation and blockage. Understanding the phased approach to eating is essential for a smooth recovery and reintroduction of normal foods.
