Low-sulfur diet study for Crohn’s symptoms when disease is quiet
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether a low-sulfur diet can improve ongoing belly pain and/or diarrhea symptoms in people with Crohn’s disease that looks “quiet” on tests. If you still feel symptoms even though inflammation is not active, this could help by targeting diet-related triggers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease based on tests like colonoscopy (endoscopy), scans, and/or biopsy results
- Your Crohn’s is currently “quiet,” shown by low stool inflammation (fecal calprotectin under 150) and/or no signs of inflammation on a recent colonoscopy
- You still have persistent symptoms (abdominal pain and/or diarrhea) with PROMIS-GI scores of 55 or higher
- You have NOT had a total colectomy, and you do not currently have a stoma bag (end ileostomy or colostomy)
- You have not changed immunosuppressing medicines in the last 4 weeks, and you have not used antibiotics or probiotics in the last 4 weeks

This study tests whether a special diet using a nutritional supplement can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in people with active Crohn's disease affecting the small intestine. It aims to see how the diet changes gut bacteria and body composition.
This study tests whether a specially designed anti-inflammatory American diet can help control mild to moderate Crohn's Disease symptoms. Participants will follow a diet plan, with guidance from the research team, to see if it reduces inflammation and improves quality of life.
This trial studies whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet can improve inflammatory bowel disease (including mild to moderate Crohn’s). It may help by testing changes in gut inflammation measured by your symptoms and stool tests.
This study tests whether changing your diet and lifestyle can help repair the lining of your gut if you have Crohn's disease. It focuses on people whose Crohn's causes food-related symptoms or IBS-like symptoms, and involves a special scope procedure to check for food-triggered gut barrier damage.
This study compares two special diets to see which works better for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that causes diarrhea or mixed bowel habits. Half the participants will follow a diet called CDED, and the other half will follow the low FODMAP diet, to find out which one helps symptoms more.
This study tests whether a combination of fecal transplant (transferring healthy bacteria from a donor) and dietary changes can help control disease activity in people newly diagnosed with Crohn's. It is for those with mild to moderate symptoms who have not yet taken any Crohn's medications.
