Background/Objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated pathology associated with the dysregulation of lipid metabolism. The administration of nervonic acid, a very long-chain fatty acid, has been shown to improve colonic inflammation in a mouse model of colitis. Our study aimed to quantify fecal levels of nervonic acid, as well as the very long-chain fatty acids, lignoceric acid, and pentacosanoic acid, to identify associations with IBD activity. Methods: Stool samples were collected from 62 patients with IBD and 17 healthy controls. Nervonic acid, lignoceric acid, and pentacosanoic acid were quantified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Lipid levels, normalized to the dry weight of fecal homogenates, were used for calculations. Results: Patients with IBD exhibited elevated fecal nervonic acid levels compared to healthy controls, with no significant differences observed between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. A fecal nervonic acid concentration of 0.49 µmol/g distinguished IBD patients from controls, achieving a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 82%. Fecal nervonic acid levels showed a positive correlation with both C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin and increased proportionally with rising fecal calprotectin levels. IBD patients treated with corticosteroids or interleukin-12/23 antibodies had higher levels of fecal nervonic acid than those in other therapies, with no difference in serum C-reactive protein and calprotectin levels between these groups. Conclusions: In summary, this analysis indicates that fecal nervonic acid may emerge as a novel specific biomarker for IBD diagnosis and disease monitoring.
