Sweetener tested to fight dangerous gut infection

NCT ID NCT06799039

Summary

This small, early-stage study is testing whether a common sweetener called xylitol can safely remove C. difficile bacteria from the gut of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will give different doses to small groups of participants to find the highest amount that is well-tolerated. The main goal is to see if xylitol can clear the bacteria and potentially prevent future infections.
