Fermented Food-Supplemented Diet in Ulcerative Colitis
Effects of a Fermented Food-Supplemented on Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to see how a diet that supplements fermented foods effects inflammation and quality of life in patients with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). There is a paucity of research and an enormous need for better understanding of diet and intestinal inflammation. Fermented food have been shown to positively influence inflammatory cytokines and intestinal microbial diversity in healthy volunteers.
