What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Families of children with arthritis are highly interested in the benefits of diet to improve their child's disease and future health outcomes. Previous research shows that the germs - bacteria and other organisms - that live in the intestines (gut microbiome) are important to how well immune systems work, and that what people eat changes their gut microbiome.
