Dietary additives may worsen colitis – study tests clean eating
NCT ID NCT05743374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether removing certain food additives (like carrageenan and polysorbates) from the diet can improve symptoms and gut health in people with moderately active ulcerative colitis. About 70 participants will be randomly assigned to either a normal healthy diet or one that avoids these additives for one month. Researchers will measure inflammation and gut bacteria changes to see if the special diet helps control the disease.
