Summary
This study looked at whether a short-term, low-calorie plant-based diet (called a fasting mimicking diet) could help reduce depressive symptoms in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). 42 adults with mild-to-moderate depression and IBD completed three 5-day diet cycles. Researchers measured changes in mood, gut bacteria, and immune function to see if this diet could be a safe way to improve mental health.
