The Claim
In a single case of ulcerative colitis in remission, adherence to a 10/14 intermittent fasting regimen for eight weeks was associated with no adverse changes in liver enzymes, lipid profile, or thyroid function, despite significant reductions in inflammatory markers.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In one person with ulcerative colitis in remission, following a 10/14 intermittent fasting schedule for eight weeks did not cause harmful changes in liver function, blood fats, or thyroid hormone levels, even though markers of inflammation decreased.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Intermittent Fasting and Reduction of Inflammatory Response in a Patient with Ulcerative Colitis
A woman with a gut condition tried eating only during a 10-hour window each day for two months. Her inflammation went down, she felt better, and her liver, thyroid, and cholesterol stayed healthy — so this kind of fasting didn’t hurt her.
