Can diet and blood tests predict IBD Flare-Ups?
NCT ID NCT07797998
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Assiut University are studying how nutrition, diet-related inflammation, and blood markers relate to disease activity in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The study will enroll 100 adults aged 18 to 65 with either condition. Participants will have their nutritional status assessed, complete a dietary questionnaire, and provide blood samples. The team will then look for links between these measures and how active their IBD is, using standard scoring tools.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If diet and inflammation markers track with disease activity, this could point toward dietary guidance to help manage IBD symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients with IBD.
