Scientists hunt plastic clues in our guts

NCT ID NCT06001450

Summary

This study aims to understand if tiny plastic particles in our environment affect gut bacteria and inflammation, potentially increasing the risk for Crohn's disease and other bowel conditions. Researchers will analyze stool samples from pregnant women with Crohn's, healthy women, and their family members to measure plastic content and gut health markers. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to future prevention strategies, not to test a treatment.
