Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study aims to examine patient tolerability of personalized dietary fibre consumption recommendations (high-pectin diet versus high-B-fructan diet based on personalized responses), provided by an IBD dietician, based on our novel translational research findings.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Children (age 6-17) or young adults (age 18-39).
  • •Known or suspected UC or IBDU [there will be 2 control group: non-IBD (undergoing colonoscopy but found not to have IBD; and healthy (no GI symptoms, so not required to have colonoscopy; could be family members)]
  • •For UC: Remission-mild-moderate disease: Mayo score <10
  • •Clinical indication for sedated colonoscopy
  • •Disease location: E2-E4
  • •Stable treatment (not on steroids; biologics or immunomodulator not changed in last month)
  • •High likelihood that patients will be able to collect all samples and provide all data

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Use of antibiotics for a week or more over the last 3 months
  • •Use of probiotics or prebiotics at pharmacological doses (adding fibre sources to food or probiotics in yogurt, for example, are allowed)
  • •History of abdominal surgery, including appendectomy
  • •Documented enteric infection during the 3 months prior to endoscopy
  • •Presence of non-IBD bowel conditions (e.g., celiac), anatomical or mucosal abnormalities, motility disorder
  • •Presence of a systemic disease requiring treatment (cancer, ischemic heart disease, kidney failure, etc)
  • •Proctitis (E1)
  • •Systemic steroids (above 10 mg/day of Prednisone)
  • •Topical therapy within 1 week of endoscopy
  • •Recent change in IBD treatment (started biologics or IM over the last month)
  • •Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant during the study
  • •Inability to understand or sign the consent

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diet tolerability

Time Frame: 4 weeks

Percentage of patients able to tolerate a personalized fiber diet provided by a dietitian will be evaluated at week 4 by measure of patient symptom score (PROMIS questionnaire) and willingness to continue adherence to diet advice provided.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Inflammatory response to diet(1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks)
  • Microbiota changes in response to diet(1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks)
