Gut health and pregnancy in inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at gut health in pregnant women with and without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It tracks a protein called calprotectin in stool samples, along with diet and baby health, to learn how IBD affects pregnancy and infant development.
