Hidden culprit? scientists investigate whether a mold toxin in food fuels IBD
NCT ID NCT04960826
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a toxin called deoxynivalenol (DON), often found in grains, might be a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will measure DON levels in 100 adults—some with Crohn's disease and some without—to see how the body processes it and how it affects gut bacteria. The goal is to better understand what causes IBD, not to test a new treatment.
