Testing an American anti-inflammatory diet for ulcerative colitis

This trial is testing whether a specially designed anti-inflammatory diet — made up of foods you probably already enjoy, like grilled meats, sandwiches, salmon, and oatmeal — can help reduce symptoms and bring ulcerative colitis into remission. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than just getting general diet guidance, and they'll also look for biological markers that show who responds best to dietary changes.

Many people with ulcerative colitis struggle to find food-based approaches that actually work for their condition. This study exists to test whether a diet tailored to American food preferences can be an effective way to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation, without relying on new medications.
