Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical pilot trial is to test the use of dried chicory root in patients with IBD The main questions it aims to answer are

what the effect of a 4-week 10-20 gday WholeFiberTM intervention on fecal calprotectin IBD-complaints and QoL serum inflammatory markers gut microbiota and SCFA levels in patients with Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis Participants will receive 1 sachet of 10g WholeFiberTM for the first 2 weeks equals 85 g fiber and 2 sachets of 10g WholeFiberTM per day for the last two weeks equals 17 g fiber

Researchers will compare the above mentioned outcomes before and after the intervention
Detailed Description: Rationale Inflammatory Bowel Diseases IBD of which Ulcerative Colitis UC and Crohns Disease CD are the main types includes recurring episodes of inflammation in the gastro-intestinal tract and severely impacts quality of life QoL leads to more hospitalization and increases the mortality risk An impaired gut microbiota and lower levels of short-chain fatty acids SCFA have been linked to the pathophysiology A higher fiber intake is linked to positive changes in the gut microbiota and increase SCFA-production however patients with IBD consume too little dietary fiber WholeFiberTM a dried vegetable rich in 4 types of prebiotic fiber may be an easy solution to increase dietary fiber intake impact the gut microbiota and SCFA IBD-complaints and health parameters

Objective To explore the effect of a 4-week 10-20 gday WholeFiberTM intervention on fecal calprotectin IBD-complaints and QoL serum inflammatory markers gut microbiota and SCFA levels in patients with CD and UC

Study design this is a 4-week pilot study with one arm to explore the effects of a WholeFiberTM intervention Measurements will take place before and after the intervention questionnaires will also be conducted halfway

Study population in total 12 patients with mild to moderate IBD complaints will be included of which 6 UC and 6 CD patients to investigate if there is a difference between the two groups in efficacy of WholeFiberTM

Intervention Subjects will receive 1 sachet of 10g WholeFiberTM for the first 2 weeks equals 85 g fiber and 2 sachets of 10g WholeFiberTM per day for the last two weeks equals 17 g fiber

Main study parametersendpoints the primary parameter is change in fecal calprotectin after the 4-week intervention which is a marker for inflammation in the gut Secondary parameters are improvements in IBD-complaints QoL serum markers and changes in the gut microbiota and increase in fecal SCFA-production Moreover it will be explored whether the response on the intervention will be different between UC and CD Furthermore an evaluation questionnaire will be conducted to assess feasibility and acceptance of the WholeFiberTM intervention in this population
