Summary

This study looked at whether a special liquid diet (elemental diet) can change gut bacteria and improve stomach and bowel symptoms in people with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Three participants aged 8 to 65 followed the diet for up to 4 weeks, with hospital stays and follow-up visits. The goal was to see if the diet could reduce harmful bacteria and ease symptoms like pain and diarrhea.
