Use of a Novel Diet (UC DIET) for Treatment of Mild to Moderate Active Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis

we have postulated that a diet that we developed that reduces exposure to dietary ingredients that allow sulfide reducing bacteria to thrive, or that impair the mucous layer, coupled with dietary products that enhance butyrate production, could induce remission in UC without involving additional immune suppression.

We have postulating that antibiotic therapy can alter the microbiota clinically. Controlling the microbiota by antibiotics may allow for control of the disease without immune suppression
