Healthy participants sought: A therapeutic diet to treat Crohn’s disease

Healthy volunteers sought for diet study

We are seeking healthy participants to assess a new diet that may be used to treat Crohn’s disease.

In this study we are investigating what effect some dietary components have on the intestine in healthy humans to help us understand what they might be capable of in Crohn's disease.

For this study we are seeking help from healthy volunteers
