Eat Better Feel Better

We are sharing another update on our progress with the MELODY Trial: Modulating Early Life Microbiome through Dietary Intervention in Crohn's Disease. We have now enrolled 91 women in the trial, and 68 of their babies have been born. We have collected over 900 samples so far.

We are continuing to enroll pregnant women with Crohn's disease to participate in the trial. Participants have the option to follow the IBD-AID (IBD Anti-Inflammatory Diet) or their usual diet as part of the control group. The diet intervention is optional; patients can participate even without making changes to their diet just by collecting samples. 

Eligibility criteria is as follows: 

• Patient with Crohn's disease (or healthy without IBD) 
• Pregnant, less than 27 weeks gestation or planning pregnancy

Thank you again for your continued support of the MELODY Trial! 

We are greater than 35% of the way towards our goal! You can help to spread the word about the study. Let your pregnant friends and family members and your healthcare providers know about the study. Enrollment is open now!
