Effect of Mediterranean Diet in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (NCT05973500)
Implementing Metabolomics Informed Diet on Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The effects of diet on inflammatory bowel disease is an under-studied area of research. The investigators are interested in further investigating the role that diet contributes to inflammatory bowel disease severity. The investigators will collect blood and stool samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) before and after diet changes. The stool samples will be analyzed using metabolomics and microbiome analysis to determine changes after the new diet has been implemented. The investigators will then compare changes in the patient's overall disease state by measuring markers of inflammation including C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin to determine how this diet affects the disease state.
