Mediterranean diet and gut bacteria in children with lupus
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how following a Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, might affect the gut bacteria in children with lupus. Families may join together to learn more about diet and lupus.

This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) and how it may relate to lupus nephritis. It aims to understand if differences in gut bacteria could help manage the condition.
This study looks at whether children with juvenile lupus have early, hidden tummy or bowel problems that don't cause clear symptoms yet. It involves providing a stool sample for analysis, and possibly other tests, to find these issues early and better understand how lupus affects the gut.
This study tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can help people with lupus who are on certain medications. It focuses on reducing pain and improving quality of life over 12 weeks.
This study looks at how your genes can help create a personalized diet plan to manage lupus symptoms. The goal is to see if a diet based on your genetic makeup can help you live a healthier lifestyle.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria (microbiome) affect the way your body responds to a Mediterranean diet. If you are healthy and not currently following this diet, they will see how you respond to eating this way.
This study looks at whether a “methyl-donor” nutrient supplement changes metabolism (methylation) in people with lupus who are also in the childbearing age range and have low-to-moderate disease activity. It may help researchers understand why lupus acts differently in some people and how diet-related pathways could affect symptoms.
