There are no current recommendations for fiber intake in UC; therefore, we evaluate the association between dietary fiber and the activity of the disease. Methods: Ours is a cross-sectional study in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of UC to whom a 24 h recall was applied; this allowed for the estimation and classification of type of dietary fiber. The patients were divided into two groups: (1) remission and (2) active UC. We analyzed the quantity and type of fiber with the grades of disease activity through Spearman correlation and logistic regression. Results: A total of 152 patients were included; it was found that those with clinically active UC consumed less total fiber (p = 0.016) and insoluble fiber (p = 0.018). Meanwhile, in endoscopic grade, the difference was for insoluble fiber (p = 0.038). Insoluble fiber had an inversely significant correlation with fecal calprotectin levels (r = \u22120.204; p = 0.018). Logistic regression showed that less than 11 g of insoluble fiber was a risk factor for clinical activity (OR = 2.37; 95% CI 1.107\u20135.019; p = 0.026). Conclusions: Consumption below the current recommendation of total and insoluble dietary fiber is associated with clinical activity of UC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16183198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]],"date-time":"2024-09-23T09:15:07Z","timestamp":1727082907000},"page":"3198","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Correlation between the Quantity and Type of Dietary Fiber with the Activity in Mexican Patients with Ulcerative Colitis (UC)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5156-9932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophia Eugenia","family":"Mart\u00ednez-V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n \u201cSalvador Zubir\u00e1n\u201d, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14080, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5014-1836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Miguel","family":"Corral-Ceballos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n \u201cSalvador Zubir\u00e1n\u201d, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14080, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5247-5812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas K.","family":"Yamamoto-Furusho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n \u201cSalvador Zubir\u00e1n\u201d, Vasco de Quiroga 15, Col.
