The Autoimmune Protocol Diet Modifies Intestinal RNA Expression in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Abstract
Lay Summary Researchers from the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, CA recently looked at gene expression to better understand the role that diet plays in inflammatory bowel disease. Their findings suggest that diet may help modify inflammatory pathways in people with ulcerative colitis.

Results from this RNA substudy would suggest dietary elimination, along with emphasis on a nutrient-dense diet, has the potential to positively modify inflammation and reduce symptoms in UC. Our substudy, though very small, included a well-defined subgroup of participants with UC on mesalamine only, avoiding effects that might be attributable to systemic or targeted immunosuppression.
