Article Synopsis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects around 3 million people in the US, and while medication can help, it comes with significant risks.
  • The PRODUCE study utilizes 50 individual N-of-1 trials to evaluate the effectiveness of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) versus a modified version, involving randomized blocks and a mobile app for data collection.
  • Participants will report changes in symptoms and inflammation, ultimately providing insights into which diet works better for individual patients and the general population.
