Review question/objective:
The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map the evidence for oral dietary management of ileostomies.
The primary review question is: what oral dietary strategies for managing ileostomies in humans have been reported?
Secondary review questions are: i) what types of evidence have considered oral dietary strategies for managing ileostomies; ii) what aspects of ileostomy management, for example, stoma output or flatulence, are the oral dietary strategies considered to affect; and iii) what sources do people with an ileostomy receive dietary advice from?
