What This Trial Is Studying

To investigate the feasibility of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) withdrawal in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); the data collected will provide valuable information to inform a future multi-centre randomised controlled trial. Evidence suggests that patients with IBD taking PPIs respond less well to medication and require hospital treatment more frequently than patients not taking PPIs. This may be due to changes in the gut microbiota associated with PPI use. A future definitive trial is planned to investigate clinical outcomes in patients who stop PPIs compared with those who continue PPIs, in…
