Mediterranean Diet and Gut Health in Children With Lupus
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether eating a Mediterranean diet (lots of vegetables, fish, and olive oil) can help children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, an autoimmune disease) by improving their gut bacteria and overall health. Researchers will compare children with SLE who follow this diet with healthy household members.
