• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.

    1973. Intravenous alimentation.

    1973-1977 discussion on use of Intravenous alimention (bowel rest) in crohn's disease for nutritional support. Subsequent realisation it induces remission in patients with Crohn's disease, but not UC. Crohn's Disease was referred to as Regional Enteritis back then. DR. FRANCIS C. NANCE (New...

    The Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED): A Comprehensive Review

    I think the positive data for CDED has been weak so far. While CDED is more restrictive, previous studies where a 50% EN and 50% free diet was tried failed. Still, the idea of only having to consume 50% EN combined with a less restrictive diet is appealing to increase compliance with patients...

    Bacterial and fungal microbiome of children with Crohn’s and the modifying effects of EN.

    -fungal communities differed between healthy children and those with CD -faecal samples showed EN caused dramatic changes in fungal communities and diversity, more so than in bacterial communities -fungus S. cerevisiae (ASCA yeast) significantly decreased during EEN -subjects with lower...

    Daily consumption of fruit/vegetables in OECD countries and crohn's disease prevalence.

    Lack of fruits/vegetables and specifically the subsequent association with lack of fiber intake is often blamed on the increasing prevalence of crohn's disease. Especially after a study a few years ago came out suggesting lack of fiber intake was associated with later development of crohn's...

    Reduction faecal calprotectin during EN is lost rapidly after food re‐introduction

    -EN shows largest decrease in calprotectin at 4 weeks -EN continues to decrease calprotectin at 8 weeks but at a slower rate -Results show EN effectiveness might be dose-dependent (a similar study in Japan also suggested this) -discontinuation of EN increases calprotectin within 17 days...

    Presence of maltodextrin, emulsifiers or lack of fibre do not impact effectivness of EN.

    All the studies that scare people regarding emulsifiers, polysorbate 80, maltodextrin, and tell people to eat more fibre, based on their studies in petri dishes, need to start explaining how EN full of emulsifiers, maltodextrin, and complete lacking in fibre are the most effective treatment for...

    Are fungi found in the stool actually present in the intestine.

    It seems like an odd question. By asking this you are challeging the notion of a gut mycobiome consisting of fungi. Most studies naturally assume that when fungi like Candida spp and Malassezia are found in stool of patients with crohn's disease, that they have colonized the gut where they...

    Food antigen-induced immune responses in Crohn’s disease patients and experimental colitis

    One of the few studies that did a wide antibodies presence study on common foods in patients with Crohn's disease. It shows a very high IgG response against buckwheat, corn, oat, pecan, cabbage, lettuce, celery, rice, onion, spinach, tomatoes, grapefruits and yeasts. The antibody response is...

    The very high level of clustering of Crohn's Disease.

    Van Kruiningen his old studies showed the fact Crohn's Disease features high level of clustering in Northern France and Belgium. It is only when you look at recent detailed maps when you start to appreciate the level of clustering. There is a major environmental factor involved in crohn's...
