NCT ID NCT06998277
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a 15-day diet called UC-TREAT, rich in high-fiber foods, fermented foods, and berries, in 36 adults—some healthy and some with quiescent (inactive) ulcerative colitis. Researchers measured changes in gut bacteria, digestive symptoms, and diet acceptability. The goal was to see if this diet could improve gut health without causing discomfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
UC-TREAT diet (high-fiber foods, fermented foods, berries, and a multivitamin-multimineral tablet)
What this could lead to
If the diet is well-tolerated and improves gut health, it could point toward a dietary approach to help manage ulcerative colitis during remission.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 36 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The diet may be hard to follow or cause digestive discomfort.
