Why This Matters
This observational study aims to link nutritional status and the dietary inflammatory potential to IBD activity and to test whether simple blood-derived inflammatory indices can serve as noninvasive markers of disease activity.
Results could inform dietary guidance and low-cost monitoring strategies for people with IBD.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis; gastroenterology clinicians and dietitians; researchers interested in nutrition, biomarkers, and noninvasive monitoring in IBD.

What To Know
This ClinicalTrials.gov record describes an observational, not-yet-recruiting study at Assiut University investigating how nutritional status and the inflammatory potential of diet relate to disease activity in adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
The study will enroll about 100 patients and use the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) to measure nutrition, Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) for Crohn’s disease, and the Mayo score for ulcerative colitis, with assessments at baseline and follow-up visits through 24 weeks.
Researchers will also evaluate inexpensive, CBC-derived inflammatory biomarkers as noninvasive markers of disease activity. The record is a trial-registration entry (observational design) rather than a trial result. It outlines inclusion/exclusion criteria, planned outcomes, and timing but does not report study findings.
The focus is on diet’s inflammatory potential (Dietary Inflammatory Index) and nutritional status as factors that may affect IBD activity.
Keep In Mind
This is a ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for a not-yet-recruiting observational study; no results are reported. The description and planned outcomes come from the trial record rather than a published paper.

Study of the Role of Pomegranate Juice Ellagitannins in the Modulation of Inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This trial tests whether pomegranate juice can lower fecal calprotectin, a commonly used marker of intestinal inflammation, in people with IBD in remission. If effective, such a dietary approach could be of interest to...
Assessing Interventions of Diet in IBD
Dietary strategies are commonly considered by people with IBD to manage symptoms and quality of life. This trial focuses on real-world adherence and patient-reported barriers to three popular diets (intermittent fasting,...
Multiple paths to health: A scoping review of dietary interventions for adults with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Many people with IBD try dietary changes to manage symptoms. This review summarizes what published adult studies report and points toward whole-food and Mediterranean-style patterns as commonly supported approaches.
