Summary

This study looks at whether taking a common ulcerative colitis medication (5-ASA) in the morning versus the evening can better control hidden inflammation and improve gut health. About 32 adults with inactive ulcerative colitis but signs of low-level inflammation will take their once-daily pill at two different times for one month each. Researchers will measure inflammation, medication levels in the gut, and sleep patterns to find the most effective timing.
