NCT ID NCT02412553
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether two special diets—a liquid formula diet or the specific carbohydrate diet—can help control active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. About 40 adults with active disease will follow one of these diets for 6 weeks, then return to normal eating. Researchers will track symptoms, inflammation markers, and gut bacteria to see if diet can reduce disease activity without changing medications.
