Is anyone else following a research clinical trial? Seems a lack of a gut microbe called Ruminococcaceae prevents bile acid conversion which leads to inflamation and sores in colon. Fascinating research discovered while trying to figure out why UC patients get pouchitis and Non-UC patients don't.
Quote: 'To get to this point, the team is now conducting a clinical trial to discover whether an acid supplement can help people with ulcerative colitis.'
Quote: “We hope it also leads to our being able to treat it with a naturally produced metabolite that’s already present in high amounts in a healthy gut.” –
