This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to learn whether eating specific types of fiber—either pectin or B-fructan—can help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) tolerate their condition better. This study will give some participants a diet high in pectin and others a diet high in B-fructan, and will customize these recommendations based on how each person's body responds. The goal is to see if personalized fiber recommendations, guided by an IBD dietitian, can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Many people with IBD struggle with which foods are safe to eat. Early research suggests that fiber—especially specific types—might help reduce inflammation and symptoms, but doctors don't yet know which type of fiber works best for which person. This study aims to figure out whether tailoring fiber recommendations to each patient's individual response could be a safe, natural way to manage IBD symptoms.

You will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: either a high-pectin or high-B-fructan diet, delivered either as a standardized plan or personalized just for you based on how your body responds. You'll work with an IBD dietitian who will guide you through the diet and monitor how you feel. You'll need to provide samples and keep track of your symptoms over the study period, with appointments for check-ins and colonoscopy as required.
