NCT ID NCT04960826

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a toxin called deoxynivalenol (DON), often found in grains, might be an environmental risk factor for inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and colitis. Researchers will measure DON levels in 100 people—some with Crohn's disease and some without—who are already scheduled for intestinal surgery. The goal is to understand how the body processes this toxin and how it affects gut bacteria and gut health.
