Diet Intervention Treatment for Active Ulcerative Colitis

We propose to use a sustainable non-elemental diet aimed at altering the microbiome in patients with mild to moderately active UC to alter their disease activity. Participants will be followed for 14 days on their traditional diet followed by an 8 week intervention with the specially designed and provided treatment diet. The treatment diet has been designed based on the literature with the goal of influencing the biodiversity and density of the microbiome. All food through the duration of the 8 week dietary intervention period of the study will be provided to the treatment arm study participants. Open label n=20
