NCT ID NCT04520594
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a plant-based starch, tailored to each child's needs, can help restore a healthier gut microbiome in children with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or colitis). About 100 children with mild disease or in remission will receive the starch for 6 months. The goal is to see if it boosts butyrate production, a sign of gut health, and improves quality of life.
