Summary
This pilot study is testing whether drinking 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily for 8 weeks can reduce gut inflammation and improve quality of life in people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis. Researchers will also look at how the juice affects gut bacteria. The study involves 30 adults who follow a low-fiber diet and will compare the juice period to a no-juice period.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement to help manage ulcerative colitis symptoms and reduce inflammation.
