Breath Tests to Study Gut Changes in Ulcerative Colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses simple breath tests to measure changes in your gut during dietary treatment for ulcerative colitis. It may help doctors understand why some people respond better to dietary changes and guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether adding a probiotic supplement and trace elements to your current treatment helps manage mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. It aims to see if these additions can improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study looks at whether stool tests, combined with a special camera test of the colon, can help find early signs of colon changes in people who have had ulcerative colitis for a long time. It aims to improve how we monitor for any serious changes like cancer.
This study looks at whether a simple stool test can tell if treatment is healing the gut lining in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who are starting their first biologic medicine. If it works, this test might help doctors adjust treatment earlier.
This study tests whether a substance in your urine can help measure how active your ulcerative colitis is. Researchers hope this simple urine test might become a useful tool to track your disease without more invasive procedures.
This study tests whether a combination of fecal transplant (transferring healthy stool into your gut) and dietary changes can help control inflammation in people recently diagnosed with active ulcerative colitis. It may offer a new treatment option before starting stronger medications.
This study tests whether using a simple stool test to guide treatment is better than usual care for people with ulcerative colitis in remission. It aims to keep you in remission longer and prevent flare-ups.
