Dietary triggers of gut inflammation following exclusive enteral nutrition in children with Crohn's disease: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The anti-inflammatory effect of exclusive enteral nutrition on the gut of children with Crohn's disease is rapidly lost after food reintroduction. This study assessed disease dietary triggers following successful treatment with exclusive enteral nutrition.

Methods

Nutrient intake, dietary patterns and dietary biomarkers in faeces (gluten immunogenic peptides, undigestible starch, short chain fatty acids) were assessed in 14 children with Crohn's disease during early food reintroduction, following exclusive enteral nutrition. Groups above (Group A) and below (Group B) the median levels of faecal calprotectin after food reintroduction were assigned for comparative analysis.

Results

Intakes of fibre, gluten-containing cereals and red and processed meat were si
