Liquid diet study for new Crohn's in kids and teens
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 trial studies a combination of immune-suppressing treatments for children with Crohn’s disease that is not well controlled. It may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms if you meet the study’s disease-activity and safety requirements.
This trial studies “autophagy,” a normal body process, to better understand and possibly improve care for children with Crohn’s disease. Children will need a scope exam and may get assigned to a Crohn’s group or a non-Crohn’s group for comparison.
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 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.
