Dietary tweak may lower Crohn's risk in family members
NCT ID NCT05211518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a diet that avoids certain inflammatory foods could lower the risk of developing Crohn's disease in healthy people who have a close relative with the condition. Twenty-nine participants followed the 'Tasty & Healthy' diet for 8 weeks. The main goal was to see if levels of a gut inflammation marker (fecal calprotectin) would drop, suggesting a lower risk of future disease.
