Adding a Special Diet to Anti-TNF Therapy for Crohn's and Colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a special diet (the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet) to standard anti-TNF medicine works better than the medicine alone for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You would be asked to follow a specific meal plan for several weeks while taking your regular medication.
