Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, we are trying to learn how certain diets affect people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We want to understand what makes it hard or easy for them to stick to different eating plans, like intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, and the Low FODMAP diet. By finding out how these diets help with symptoms and which ones are easier to follow, we hope to improve the quality of life for people with IBD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to explore the impact of specific dietary interventions on individuals living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). By examining dietary patterns such as intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, and the Low FODMAP diet, we seek to identify barriers to adherence and facilitators that make these eating plans sustainable. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the perceived benefits of these diets in managing IBD symptoms and their influence on overall quality of life. The findings will provide valuable insights to develop patient-centered nutritional strategies that enhance adherence and therapeutic outcomes in IBD care.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a mixed-design, randomized, parallel-group trial with three independent arms. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three dietary intervention groups: intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, or the Low FODMAP diet. Each arm will operate independently, and participants will adhere exclusively to their assigned dietary intervention throughout the study duration. The design ensures that the effects of each diet are evaluated in isolation, allowing for a direct comparison of adherence rates, perceived benefits, and impacts on IBD symptom management across the groups.
