Can a special diet tame ulcerative colitis? breath tests may tell
NCT ID NCT07640659
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short liquid diet followed by a low-sulfur eating plan is safe and helpful for people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Researchers will check if this approach improves gut health, lowers inflammation, and eases symptoms. They will also use breath samples to track gut bacteria activity in a simple, non-invasive way.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Elemental liquid diet and low-sulfur eating plan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-invasive way to monitor gut health and a dietary approach to manage ulcerative colitis symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The diet may be hard to follow, and it's not yet proven to work.
