CD Treat - a diet mimicking EEN

[Deleted member 431298]

There is a UK based research project going on aiming to see if eating certain easy-to-digest foods can result in the same effect as EEN (exclusive enteral nutrition).
The diet is called "CD Treat" and you can read more about here (study results)

Treatment of Active Crohn's Disease With an Ordinary Food-based Diet That Replicates Exclusive Enteral Nutrition - PubMed

CD-TREAT replicates EEN changes in the microbiome, decreases gut inflammation, is well tolerated, and is potentially effective in patients with active CD. ClinicalTrials.gov, numbers NCT02426567 and NCT03171246.

The reason being MAP (paratuberculosis) which may be causing / driving the inflammation. I want to be sure I do not introduce MAP bacteria to an already strained digestive system while on the diet. Just in case..

Alao - interestingly the foods included are many of the same foods CD patients report to be 'safe foods'.
Have a look in this thread where forum users report which foods they seem to tolerate:

What are your SAFE and UNSAFE foods?

I'd like to create a collection of safe and unsafe foods for people that are just starting out on the IBD journey (and it may be useful for the veterans as well). This idea is to create a list of safe and unsafe foods but since everyone is a little different, I'll then collate the responses and...
