Liquid diet for treating inflammatory bowel disease flares
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special liquid diet (called elemental diet) can help calm down an IBD flare without needing to go to the hospital. If it works, it might offer a simpler way to manage flare symptoms at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) and have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

- You do not have an allergy to any of the ingredients in the special liquid diet used in this study.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have diabetes that requires insulin.
