Nutrition therapy for children with Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a modified version of the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) that uses Nordic foods to see if it works as well as the standard CDED diet in children with mild-to-moderate Crohn's disease. It looks for ways to reduce inflammation without using steroids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at how diet affects people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who have moderate inflammation. It aims to understand if certain foods make symptoms worse or better.
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.
This study tests whether a specially designed anti-inflammatory American diet can help control mild to moderate Crohn's Disease symptoms. Participants will follow a diet plan, with guidance from the research team, to see if it reduces inflammation and improves quality of life.
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.
This study tests whether combining biologic medicines (TNF-alpha inhibitors like infliximab or adalimumab) with a special nutrition plan helps young people with active Crohn's disease feel better. The nutrition plan may include drinking special formula drinks instead of regular food (or alongside some regular food).
