Sponsor

McMaster University

Enrollment

45 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this study, we are trying to learn how certain diets affect people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We want to understand what makes it hard or easy for them to stick to different eating plans, like intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, and the Low FODMAP diet. By finding out how these diets help with symptoms and which ones are easier to follow, we hope to improve the quality of life for people with IBD.


Eligibility
