Summary
The goal of the study is to evaluate strategies that target the microbiota for the treatment
of Ulcerative Colitis , This study will involve a novel diet that the investigators developed
, based on the hypothesis that UC involves dysbiosis , underutilzation of certain metabolic
pathways and use of pathways that increase risk of inflammation . The investigators have
postulated that manipulation of colonic bacterial metabolism with this diet will induce
remission in UC without involving additional immune suppression.
