Abstract
INTRODUCTION These Asian Working Group guidelines on diet in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) present a multidisciplinary focus on clinical nutrition in IBD in Asian countries. METHODOLOGY The guidelines are based on evidence from existing published literature; however, if objective data were lacking or inconclusive, expert opinion was considered. The conclusions and 38 recommendations have been subject to full peer review and a Delphi process in which uniformly positive responses (agree or strongly agree) were required. RESULTS Diet has an important role in IBD pathogenesis, and an increase in the incidence of IBD in Asian countries has paralleled changes in the dietary patterns. The present consensus endeavors to address the following topics in relation to IBD: (i) role of diet in the pathogenesis; (ii) diet as a therapy; (iii) malnutrition and nutritional assessment of the patients; (iv) dietary recommendations; (v) nutritional rehabilitation; and (vi) nutrition in special situations like surgery, pregnancy, and lactation. CONCLUSIONS Available objective data to guide nutritional support and primary nutritional therapy in IBD are presented as 38 recommendations.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which mainly comprises Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a term for chronic inflammatory diseases of the gut arising due to a dysregulated immune response to a dysbiotic gut microbiome on a background of genetic predisposition. However, genetics explains a small fraction of risk, and the external environment plays a large and important role in disease pathogenesis and natural history. Cigarette smoking, one of the earliest- and most-studied risk factors, increases the risk of CD onset and is associated with severe disease. In contrast, although smoking cessation increases the risk of UC onset and relapse, current smoking appears to be protective. Appendectomy is inversely associated with the risk of UC. Various dietary factors may influence risk of IBD, including an inverse association with dietary fiber. Exclusion diets have anecdotal reports of efficacy but lack evidence from rigorous clinical trials. Psychosocial factors such as depression, stress, and sleep disturbance play a role in onset as well as in determining natural history. There is an important need for rigorous studies robustly informing the association and mechanism(s) of influence of the external environment on IBD risk and for clinical trials examining the efficacy of alteration of the environment in ameliorating the course of IBD.

Abstract
Background and Aim Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is recognized internationally as the first line of treatment for children with active Crohn's disease (CD). A survey conducted a decade ago demonstrated that 40% of Australian pediatric gastroenterologists did not think EEN to be an appropriate treatment for CD. This study aimed to explore the current attitudes of Australian and New Zealand (NZ) pediatric gastroenterologists toward the use of EEN in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods All practicing pediatric gastroenterologists in Australia and NZ were invited via an existing email network to complete an anonymous online questionnaire. Results The questionnaire was completed by 37 respondents (54% response rate), 31 from Australia and 6 from NZ. All respondents felt that EEN definitely or probably has a role in inducing remission for children with newly diagnosed CD. Australian gastroenterologists were more likely to use EEN for relapsed CD or IBD‐unclassified than NZ doctors (P < 0.05). Adherence was reported to be the greatest disadvantage of EEN. Dietitians were believed to play the most crucial role in EEN administration. Variations in EEN protocols included the use of flavorings or fluids during EEN and different patterns of food reintroduction. Conclusions These Australia and NZ pediatric gastroenterologists felt that EEN plays an important role in the induction of remission in children with newly diagnosed CD. However, the perceived role of EEN use in other types of IBD varied. EEN protocols varied widely between centers. Attitudes toward the roles of EEN have altered greatly across Australasia over the last decade.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nutritional interventions play a central role in the treatment and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children. Although malnutrition is a common presenting sign of IBD, nutritional interventions have focused not only on correction of the malnourished state but also on treatment of the primary disease. RECENT FINDINGS Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) has been the primary therapy utilized in pediatric IBD specifically, Crohn's disease. This intervention provides total calories from formula meeting complete macronutrient and micronutrient needs for a patient. EEN has been shown to improve growth and correct micronutrient deficiencies as well as improve comorbid conditions like osteopenia and anemia. EEN has also been shown to be equally as efficacious as steroids in inducing remission with better mucosal healing. SUMMARY EEN is a primary therapy in IBD. Both the North American and European Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition consider EEN as first line therapy for inducing remission in Crohn's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is an effective induction treatment for pediatric Crohn disease. Given the center-based variation in use and diversity in practice, we constructed a survey aimed at sharing experience and strategies in administering EEN, stimulating further research, and optimizing therapy. METHODS This survey was constructed after consultation with experts and designed to address key knowledge gaps. The survey was disseminated through the Pediatric IBD Porto Group of ESPGHAN, Canadian Children IBD Network, selective experts, and was sent twice through the Pediatric Gastrointestinal-Bulletin Board (PEDGI-BB). Data were collected into REDCap and analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS In total, 146 participants from 26 countries completed the survey. Sixty-five percentage of participants were general, non-inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)-focused pediatric gastroenterologists, 21% were IBD-focused, and 10% were dietitians. The most common indications (∼90% use) were for ileocecal and ileocolonic disease (Paris L1 and L3). The most common duration was 8 weeks and 66% preferred oral to nasogastric administration. Most (63%) did not allow any additional intake and 69% instructed patients to continue partial enteral nutrition (EN) after completing treatment. Dietitians were identified as essential to EEN success while the primary challenges of EEN programs were adherence and lack of support. Regional and professional practice differences were observed in EEN indication, age, exclusivity, program structure/support, and cost coverage. CONCLUSIONS We found significant variation in practice and use of EEN with several regional and professional differences. Global variation offers opportunities for research and improving care. This survey establishes a framework and provides resources for collaboration and information sharing.

Abstract
Genetic and environmental factors are thought to profoundly influence the pathophysiology of Crohn’s disease (CD). Changes in dietary and hygiene patterns affect the interactions between the immune system and environment. The gut microbiome is responsible for mediating host immune response with significant dysbiosis observed in individuals with CD. Diet therapy using exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) has been studied as primary therapy for the management of CD. EEN may cultivate the presence of beneficial microbiota, improve bile acid metabolism, and decrease the number of dietary microparticles possibly influencing disease and immune activity. In this review, we will address the current evidence on EEN in the management of adult and pediatric CD. In adults, EEN appears to be moderately beneficial for the induction of remission of CD; however, its use is understudied and underutilized. Stronger evidence is in place to support the use of EEN in pediatric CD with the added benefit of nutrition support and steroid-sparing therapy during the growth phase. Overall, EEN is an established therapy in inducing CD remission in the pediatric population while its role as primary therapy of adult Crohn’s disease remains to be defined.

Abstract
Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is the first line therapy for paediatric Crohn's disease, providing a complete nutritional feed whilst simultaneously inducing remission in up to 80% of cases. The effect of EEN on systemic/local intestinal immune function and subsequent inflammation (including barrier permeability, direct anti-inflammatory effects and cytokine signalling pathways), alongside changes in the microbiome (specific species and broad taxonomic shifts, functional changes) are becoming clearer, however the exact mechanism for induction of remission in Crohn's disease remains uncertain. The evidence of efficacy in paediatric Crohn's disease is strong, with selected adult populations also benefiting from EEN. However despite recommendations from all major societies (ECCO, ESPGHAN, NASPGHAN and ESPEN) first-line use of EEN is varied and Europe/Australasia/Canada show significantly more routine use than other parts of North America. Growth and nutritional status are significantly improved with EEN compared to corticosteroids but long-term outcomes are sparse. This review discusses the evidence underlying the use of EEN, highlighting the mechanisms thought to underlie how EEN induces remission in Crohn's disease, when and how to use EEN, including practical issues in both paediatric and adult practice (formulation, compliance, volumes and administration), and summarises the ongoing research priorities.
