Read our Ulcerative Colitis research guide →This is an observational study — meaning researchers won't give you any new medication or treatment. Instead, they'll carefully monitor you over six months while your ulcerative colitis is in remission (when you're feeling better). The goal is to understand what happens in your body in the months before a flare-up occurs, by collecting monthly samples and tracking your symptoms, mood, and quality of life.
Ulcerative colitis often goes through cycles of remission (feeling well) and flare-ups (symptoms return). By closely studying what changes in the body during remission, researchers hope to discover early warning signs of a flare-up. This knowledge could eventually help doctors prevent or better manage these painful cycles.

You'll visit the clinic once a month for six months while your ulcerative colitis remains in remission. At each visit, you'll answer detailed questions about your symptoms, mood, and daily functioning using questionnaires. You'll also provide blood, urine, and stool samples for laboratory testing. Researchers will continue following you until your symptoms return (a flare-up occurs), at which point your participation ends. There are no medications to take — this is purely an observation and monitoring study.
