Diet and Stress Management with Advanced Therapy for Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis
This study is looking at whether combining lifestyle changes (diet management and stress management) with advanced therapies can help people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a diagnosis of CD, UC, or IBD-unspecified, and have recent signs of active IBD. Researchers will compare four different groups to see if these combined approaches lead to clinical remission, which means your symptoms improve significantly. The study aims to enroll 160 participants and will measure success at 12 and 24 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Change marked by clinical remission of IBD12 weeks, 24 weeks
Subjects in the intervention arms will show clinically significant improvement in IBD symptoms after week 12 of the treatment period based upon disease activity scores using the Harvey-Bradshaw Disease Activity Index (HBI). For the HBI, a score less than 3 indicates remission while a score of 8-9 reflects severe disease.
