Lay Summary A person’s diet may impact inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk. IBD is an inflammatory condition. We explore how certain foods may trigger, or indeed attenuate, inflammation in some IBD patients, but not others. Greater knowledge is needed underpinning personalized nutrition within effective medical management.
