Figure 3. — Changes in stool frequency and consistency. Considering all patients, there was a significant reduction in stool frequency after 12, 24 and 48 weeks (a). Dividing patients into those with a jejuno- or ileostomy and those with a colon in continuity (b), changes in stool frequency are only statistically significant for patients with a colon in continuity after 12 and 24 weeks but not 48 weeks. Patients with an ostomy do not show a significant reduction in stool frequency at any time. (c) Visualizes improvement in stool consistency in all patients on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 = watery, 2 = loose/mushy, 3 = soft, 4 = formed, 5 = hard) (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01). Mo, months; W, weeks.
