Reducing ultra-processed foods in teens with IBD
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple educational program can help teens with IBD eat less ultra-processed foods (like fast food and sugary snacks). Participants will learn about healthier food choices during their regular infusion visits.

This study tests a mobile app called MYIBDDiet that helps people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) manage their own diet. You might be able to join if you have IBD but are not in a flare, not on a special diet already, and don't have other conditions that require a special diet.
This study uses information from your gut bacteria (microbiome) to create personalized nutrition advice. It is for people with gut conditions like IBD, IBS, or celiac disease, as well as healthy volunteers.
This study looks at how a specific amino-acid (threonine) diet affects adults with Crohn’s disease and signs of intestinal inflammation. It may help researchers understand what dietary protein needs could support more stable disease.
This study tests a special liquid diet (smoothie) to treat newly diagnosed Crohn's disease in children and young adults. It aims to understand how the diet works and if it can help reduce inflammation.
This trial tests whether a tailored diet high in B-fructans can improve inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or IBD-unclassified) in people in mild-to-moderate remission. It may help your gut and reduce bowel inflammation, and it involves colonoscopy and sample collection.
This trial tests whether a tailored anti-inflammatory diet based on American foods can help people with mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis. You'll follow a special meal plan with foods like soup, smoothies, salmon, and avocado, and researchers will track your symptoms and inflammation.
