The Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Anti-Inflammatory Diet (IBD-AID)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

In brief

The goal of this study is to prospectively test the hypothesis that specific dietary modification can improve patient symptoms by promoting beneficial changes in the composition of the microbiome that, in turn, alter the immune response in such a way as to and ameliorate inflammatory conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The potential long term benefit of this research is a validated set of efficacious dietary guidelines for persons with IBD. The potential immediate benefit to patients is symptomatic relief and healing.
