Diet study for adult men with Crohn’s disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific amino-acid (threonine) diet affects adults with Crohn’s disease and signs of intestinal inflammation. It may help researchers understand what dietary protein needs could support more stable disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 to 49
- You have Crohn’s disease affecting the ileum and/or colon, and your symptoms are fairly stable (Crohn’s score 8 or less)
- You show some signs of active inflammation (for example, higher CRP in past tests), even if you’re stable
- You do not have intestinal narrowing (strictures) that would prevent eating a normal diet
- Your weight has been stable for at least 3 months, and you’re not getting food through a feeding tube
- You can follow study steps and safely eat the diet provided (including avoiding very high coffee/alcohol)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special diet (called an exclusion diet) plus a nutritional supplement can change your gut bacteria and help control active Crohn's disease. It may be a good option if you have mild-to-moderate symptoms and want to try a food-based approach before stronger medications.
This study tests whether combining a specific diet with biologic medicines can reduce active inflammation and symptoms of Crohn’s disease. It may help people who still have active disease in the bowel despite prior care.
This study tests a special liquid diet (smoothie) to treat newly diagnosed Crohn's disease in children and young adults. It aims to understand how the diet works and if it can help reduce inflammation.
This study looks at proteins from your body and gut bacteria to understand Crohn's disease better. You may join if you are about to have your first colonoscopy for suspected Crohn's and have not had any treatment yet.
This trial compares a steroid called prednisolone to a special diet (aCDED with PEN) for treating Crohn's disease flare-ups. It aims to see which approach helps improve quality of life.
This trial tests a special diet (CDED) combined with anti-TNF medication (infliximab or adalimumab) to see if it's safe and works better for active Crohn's disease. It may help if you haven't used these drugs before and can follow the diet.
