Study how diet affects the gut microbiome in new college students
This study looks at how different eating patterns (vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore) affect the bacteria in your gut over time. It may help researchers understand which diet patterns are linked to healthier gut function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your gut bacteria (microbiome) affect the way your body responds to a Mediterranean diet. If you are healthy and not currently following this diet, they will see how you respond to eating this way.
This study looks at how your diet affects the mix of gut bacteria over time. It may help researchers understand links between food, microbiome (gut bacteria), and health outcomes.
This study looks at how the bacteria (microbes) living in and on your body relate to health and disease. It may help researchers understand what changes in these microbes mean for future treatments.
This study tests whether eating a vegan diet for a short time changes the bacteria in your gut and affects your metabolism. You'll follow a strict vegan meal plan, and researchers will check your blood and stool samples to see how your body responds.
This study looks at how the tiny organisms in soil that get on vegetables may affect the tiny organisms in your gut. Healthy adults who live in Leiden will eat vegetables grown in different types of soil, and researchers will check changes in their gut bacteria.
This study looks at gut bacteria in healthy people who eat a high fiber diet. If you are between 20 and 50, eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day, and meet other health criteria, you may be able to help researchers learn how diet affects good gut bacteria.
