Mold toxin in food may fuel gut disease, scientists investigate
NCT ID NCT04960826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a toxin called deoxynivalenol (DON), found in grains, might be a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will measure DON levels in 100 people—some with Crohn's disease and others without IBD—to see how the body processes it. The goal is to understand if this common food contaminant plays a role in triggering or worsening IBD.
