Abstract
In a prospective study of more than 400 patients with UC undergoing treatment with aminosalicylates, we associated high dietary intake of specific fatty acids, including myristic acid (commonly found in palm oil, coconut oil, and dairy fats) with an increased risk of flare. These findings can help design interventional studies to evaluate dietary factors in UC.
