The Claim
In a single patient diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an intermittent fasting regimen of 10 hours fasting and 14 hours eating for eight weeks was associated with self-reported absence of gastrointestinal symptoms and sustained symptom control during continued fasting, with no changes in concomitant medication.
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.
A person with ulcerative colitis reported no gastrointestinal symptoms while following a 10-hour fast, 14-hour eating schedule for eight weeks, and symptoms remained controlled as long as they continued this eating pattern, even though their medication did not change.
