Efficacy of Fermented Brown Rice by Aspergillus oryzae (FBRA) in Ulcerative Colitis: A Double-Blind Randomized Trial
By Ishikawa H, Onishi Y, Kataoka K and 3 others.
Abstract
Background
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a diffuse, nonspecific inflammation of the colon of unknown cause. Basic and clinical studies suggest that UC may be ameliorated by dietary fiber intake. Fermented brown rice by Aspergillus oryzae (FBRA) is produced by fermenting brown rice and bran with A. oryzae. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of FBRA in patients with UC by a double-blind, randomized crossover trial.
