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.

This study follows people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who may be taking immunosuppressants (medicines that calm the immune system). Researchers will track how the disease progresses and look at factors like gut bacteria to find ways to predict complications.
This study looks at how diet affects inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It may help understand if certain foods can improve symptoms.
