Crohn’s exclusion diet plus usual care for kids
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific “exclusion diet” (removing certain foods) added to standard treatment can better control unstable Crohn’s disease in children. It may help reduce inflammation and flare-ups when symptoms are not controlled by usual medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 6–17 years old and has had Crohn’s disease for at least 3 months
- Your child has active Crohn’s despite standard medicines like anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, immune medicines, and/or biologic therapies
- For pregnancy-capable girls: a negative pregnancy test and reliable contraception (or abstinence)
- Your child can follow the exclusion diet every day for a prolonged period
- A parent (or guardian) can give consent for the study
- Your child has insurance/coverage through social security or health insurance

This trial tests whether a special liquid-only diet (exclusive enteral nutrition) can help people with active Crohn's disease, including those with complications like fistulas or narrowing of the intestine. It aims to improve nutrition and reduce disease activity without medication.
This study tests whether changing your diet and lifestyle can help repair the lining of your gut if you have Crohn's disease. It focuses on people whose Crohn's causes food-related symptoms or IBS-like symptoms, and involves a special scope procedure to check for food-triggered gut barrier damage.
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant (putting healthy bacteria into your gut) combined with dietary changes can help control active Crohn's disease. It is for people who need stronger treatments or have stopped responding to their current therapy.
This trial tests a new, gentler way to diagnose Crohn's disease. If you have symptoms like long-lasting diarrhea or belly pain, this study may help find out if you have Crohn's without invasive procedures.
This study looks at how cells in the intestine process waste (a process called autophagy) in children with Crohn's disease. It aims to better understand the disease and may lead to better treatments in the future.
This trial tests whether a Nordic-adapted version of a special diet (called CDED) works as well as the standard version for children with Crohn's disease. It aims to help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
