Practical application of the Crohn's disease exclusion diet as therapy in an adult Australian population. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 39:446-456. [PMID: 38059536 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.16414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
There is demand from patients and clinicians to use the Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) with or without partial enteral nutrition (PEN). However, the therapeutic efficacy and nutritional adequacy of this therapy are rudimentary in an adult population. This review examines the evidence for the CDED in adults with active luminal Crohn's disease and aims to provide practical guidance on the use of the CDED in Australian adults. A working group of nine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) dietitians of DECCAN (Dietitians Crohn's and Colitis Australian Network) and an IBD gastroenterologist was established. A literature review was undertaken to examine (1) clinical indications, (2) monitoring, (3) dietary adequacy, (4) guidance for remission phase, and (5) diet reintroduction after therapy. Each diet phase was compared with Australian reference ranges for food groups and micronutrients. CDED with PEN is nutritionally adequate for adults containing sufficient energy and protein and meeting > 80% of the recommended daily intake of key micronutrients. An optimal care pathway for the clinical use of the CDED in an adult population was developed with accompanying consensus statements, clinician toolkit, and patient education brochure. Recommendations for weaning from the CDED to the Australian dietary guidelines were developed. The CDED + PEN provides an alternate partial food-based therapy for remission induction of active luminal Crohn's disease in an adult population. The CDED + PEN should be prioritized over CDED alone and prescribed by a specialist IBD dietitian. DECCAN cautions against using the maintenance diet beyond 12 weeks until further evidence becomes available.

Precision nutrition in pediatric IBD: A position paper from the ESPGHAN special interest group for basic science and translational research, the IBD Porto group, and allied health professionals. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2024; 78:428-445. [PMID: 38374554 DOI: 10.1002/jpn3.12096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Stratified and precision nutrition refers to disease management or prevention of disease onset, based on dietary interventions tailored to a person's characteristics, biology, gut microbiome, and environmental exposures. Such treatment models may lead to more effective management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and reduce risk of disease development. This societal position paper aimed to report advances made in stratified and precision nutritional therapy in IBD. Following a structured literature search, limited to human studies, we identified four relevant themes: (a) nutritional epidemiology for risk prediction of IBD development, (b) food-based dietary interventions in IBD, (c) exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) for Crohn's disease (CD) management, and (d) pre- and probiotics for IBD management. There is scarce literature upon which we can make recommendations for precision or stratified dietary therapy for IBD, both for risk of disease development and disease management. Certain single-nucleotide polymorphisms related to polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism may modify the effect dietary PUFA have in increasing the risk of IBD development. Non-colonic CD, mild-to-moderate CD, and high microbiota richness may predict success of EEN and may be used both for prediction of treatment continuation, but also for early cessation in nonresponders. There is currently insufficient evidence to make recommendations for precision or stratified dietary therapy for patients with established IBD. Despite the great interest in stratified and precision nutrition, we currently lack data to support conclusive recommendations. Replication of early findings by independent research groups and within structured clinical interventions is required.

J Dig Dis 2024; 25:123-132. [PMID: 38556364 DOI: 10.1111/1751-2980.13260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between disease location and segmental mucosal healing (SMH) following exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in children with Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Treatment-naive pediatric patients with endoscopically active CD treated with EEN alone as induction therapy were retrospectively enrolled from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022. The simple endoscopic score for CD (SES-CD) was employed to score disease activity in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum), rectum, left colon, transverse colon, right colon, and terminal ileum. While the Lewis score assessed that of the small bowel from the jejunum to the proximal ileum (except the terminal ileum). The variation in the total scores for each segment and SES-CD subscores for each ileocolonic segment from baseline to 1 year after EEN therapy and the segmental endoscopic outcomes and potential predictors associated with SMH for the segments scored by SES-CD were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 82 children with CD were enrolled. Except for the upper GI segment, scores in other segments declined significantly from baseline to EEN completion (all P < 0.001). We analyzed 486 segments (79, 80, 81, 82, 82 and 82 from upper GI tract, terminal ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum) and found that the segmental SES-CD at baseline (odds ratio [OR] 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55-0.70, P < 0.001) and upper GI location (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.11-0.55, P = 0.001) were associated with SMH at EEN completion. CONCLUSION Disease location of the upper GI segment in pediatric CD was associated with SMH following EEN therapy.

Exclusive Enteral Nutrition Orchestrates Immunological Balances as Early as Week 4 in Adult Patients of Crohn's Disease: A Pilot, Open-Lable Study. Nutrients 2023; 15:5091. [PMID: 38140350 PMCID: PMC10745958 DOI: 10.3390/nu15245091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The efficacy and underlying mechanisms of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in adult patients with Crohn's disease (CD) remain controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the role of EEN in adult patients with CD and to explore the mechanisms from the perspective of immunoregulation. METHODS This is a prospective, open-label pilot study. Active patients with CD were enrolled and prescribed an amino-acid-rich elemental diet for 12 weeks. Dynamic changes in immune cells, including neutrophils, monocytes, T cells and B cells, were detected by flow cytometry. Plasma cytokines were evaluated by ELISA. RESULTS Twenty adult patients with CD were enrolled. Among them, 1 discontinued treatment due to poor compliance, and 19 patients were included for final analysis. Clinical remission was achieved in 47.37% (9/19), 63.16% (12/19), and 73.68% (14/19) patients at weeks 4, 8, and 12, respectively. Endoscopic remission and transmural healing were achieved in 52.63% (10/19) and 15.79% (3/19) patients at week 12. Notably, there was no significant difference in clinical remission between week 4 and week 8 (p = 0.33) or week 12 (p = 0.09). Furthermore, we observed a rapid reconstitution of immunologic homeostasis as early as week 4. At week 4, both the frequency and activation of neutrophils and monocytes were decreased after EEN therapy. Significant decreases in Th17 cells and naïve B cells, increases in memory B cells, and regulatory B cells were also detected. These changes remained stable at weeks 8 and 12. CONCLUSIONS EEN with an amino-acid-rich elemental diet orchestrated immunological balances and induces clinical remission in adult CD patients as early as week 4, suggesting a 4-week EEN therapy may be feasible and practicable in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the advances in medical therapies, a significant proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] require surgical intervention. This Topical Review aims to offer expert consensus practice recommendations for peri-operative care to optimize outcomes of IBD patients who undergo surgery. METHODS A multidisciplinary panel of IBD healthcare providers systematically reviewed aspects relevant to peri-operative care in IBD. Consensus statements were developed using Delphi methodology. RESULTS A total of 20 current practice positions were developed following systematic review of the current literature covering use of medication in the peri-operative period, nutritional assessment and intervention, physical and psychological rehabilitation and prehabilitation, and immediate postoperative care. CONCLUSION Peri-operative planning and optimization of the patient are imperative to ensure favourable outcomes and reduced morbidity. This Topical Review provides practice recommendations applicable in the peri-operative period in IBD patients undergoing surgery.

Abstract
Within the IBD entity of Crohn's disease, there is currently no differentiation between ileal and colonic manifestation for recruitment of patients in clinical trials, well-powered analysis of study results or therapeutic decisions in daily clinical practice. However, there is accumulating evidence from epidemiological, genetic, microbial, immunological, and clinical characteristics that clearly indicate that ileal Crohn's disease represents a distinct disease entity, which differentiates itself from colonic Crohn's disease. This is also reflected by lower efficacy of targeted therapies in isolated ileal compared to colonic Crohn's disease. The distinct site-specific mechanisms that drive heightened non-response in ileal disease need to be analysed in-depth in the future, to enable optimized therapy in the individual Crohn's disease patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adult studies suggest that patients with isolated colonic Crohn disease (L2 CD) exhibit unique characteristics differentiating them from patients with ileo-caecal (L1) CD and ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to characterize clinical features and outcomes of paediatric patients with L2. METHODS Retrospective data was collected through the Porto Inflammatory Bowel Disease group of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) on Paediatric patients with L2, L1 or UC at different time-points. Outcome measures included time to first flare, hospital admissions, initiation of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) drug, stricture and surgery. RESULTS Three hundred patients were included: 102 L1, 94 L2 and 104 UC. Rates of hematochezia at presentation were 14.7%, 44.7% and 95.2%, while rates of fever were 12.7%, 26.6% and 2.9%, for patients with L1, L2 and UC, respectively (P < 0.001 for all comparisons). Skip lesions were identified in 65% of patients with L2, and granulomas in 36%, similar to L1 patients. Rates of anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic (pANCA) positivity significantly differed between the three groups: 25.4% and 16.7% for patients with L2, compared with 55.2% and 2.3%, and 1.8% and 52.9% for patients with L1 and UC, respectively. Response rates to exclusive enteral nutrition were comparable between L1 and L2 (78.3-82.4%), as was the response to oral steroids (70.4-76.5%) in the three groups. While times to first flare and admission were similar between groups, patients with L1 were commenced on anti-TNFα earlier. Moreover, stricturing phenotype and need for colectomy were very rare in patients with L2. CONCLUSIONS Significant differences are observed in the clinical presentation and outcomes of Paediatric patients with L2, compared to patients with L1 and UC.

Tang W, Hu W, Shi P, Ye Z, Wu J, Zhang Y, Wang Y, Huang Y. The SES-CD Could Be a Predictor of Short- and Long-Term Mucosal Healing After Exclusive Enteral Nutrition in Pediatric Crohn's Disease Patients. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:874425. [PMID: 35664880 PMCID: PMC9157786 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.874425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS To explore the predictors of mucosal healing (MH) for short- and long-term after exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for newly diagnosed active CD patients admitted to our center from January 2017 to 30 December 2020, who were treated with EEN for induction therapy with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up post-EEN. According to the simple endoscopic score for CD (SES-CD), at 1-year post-EEN, 17 patients with an SES-CD < 3 were classified into the sustained MH group (sMH), and 33 patients with an SES-CD ≥ 3 were classified into the sustained non-MH group (sNMH). Statistical methods were used to compare the differences between the two groups and explore the predictors of MH at the end of EEN and 1-year post-EEN. RESULTS The SES-CD in the sMH group was lower than that in the sNMH group both at baseline and the end of EEN [sMH vs. sNMH: 8.7 ± 1.2 vs. 16.2 ± 1.0, respectively, p < 0.001 at baseline; 1.0 (3.5) vs. 4.0 (2.0), respectively, p < 0.01 at the end of EEN]. The weighted Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the sMH group were lower than those in the sNMH group at baseline (both p < 0.05), but showed no difference at the end of EEN. From baseline to 1-year post-EEN, compared with patients in the sNMH group, there were more patients classified with L1 in the sMH group at each time point (all p < 0.001) and fewer patients classified with L3 in the sMH group at baseline and 1-year post-EEN. After EEN, fewer patients received infliximab and had a longer exposure time to infliximab in the sMH group than in the sNMH group. Only the SES-CD at baseline was negatively associated with MH at the end of EEN (OR = 1.40 95% CI = 1.12-1.67, p = 0.00) and 1-year post-EEN (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.12-1.58, p = 0.001), and the cut off value was 11.5. CONCLUSION The SES-CD could predict both short- and long-term MH for EEN. Patients with an SES-CD < 11.5 had a high probability of reaching MH by EEN-inducing therapy and maintaining sustained MH at 1-year post-EEN. Patients with an SES-CD greater than 11.5 at baseline should be treated more aggressively with biologics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS This study compared the effectiveness of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) to the Mediterranean diet (MD) as treatment for Crohn's disease (CD) with mild to moderate symptoms. METHODS Adult patients with CD and with mild-to-moderate symptoms were randomly assigned 1:1 to consume the MD or SCD for 12 weeks. For the first 6 weeks, participants received prepared meals and snacks according to their assigned diet. After 6 weeks, participants were instructed to follow the diet independently. The primary outcome was symptomatic remission at week 6. Key secondary outcomes at week 6 included fecal calprotectin (FC) response (FC <250 μg/g and reduction by >50% among those with baseline FC >250 μg/g) and C-reactive protein (CRP) response (high-sensitivity CRP <5 mg/L and >50% reduction from baseline among those with high-sensitivity CRP >5 mg/L). RESULTS The study randomized 194 patients, and 191 were included in the efficacy analyses. The percentage of participants who achieved symptomatic remission at week 6 was not superior with the SCD (SCD, 46.5%; MD, 43.5%; P = .77). FC response was achieved in 8 of 23 participants (34.8%) with the SCD and in 4 of 13 participants (30.8%) with the MD (P = .83). CRP response was achieved in 2 of 37 participants (5.4%) with the SCD and in 1 of 28 participants (3.6%) with the MD (P = .68). CONCLUSIONS The SCD was not superior to the MD to achieve symptomatic remission, FC response, and CRP response. CRP response was uncommon. Given these results, the greater ease of following the MD and other health benefits associated with the MD, the MD may be preferred to the SCD for most patients with CD with mild to moderate symptoms.

Abstract
The food we eat is thought to play a role in both the increasing incidence as well as the course of Crohn's disease. What to eat and what to avoid is an increasingly important question for both patients and physicians. Restrictive diets are widely adopted by patients and carry the risk of inducing or worsening malnutrition, without any guarantees on anti-inflammatory potential. Nevertheless, exploration of novel therapies to improve long-term management of the disease is desperately needed and the widespread use of exclusive enteral nutrition in the induction of paediatric Crohn's disease makes us wonder if a similar approach would be beneficial in adult patients. This narrative review discusses the current clinical evidence on whole food diets in achieving symptomatic and inflammatory control in Crohn's disease and identifies knowledge gaps with areas for future research.

Abstract
Summary
Introduction
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive system. The ileocecal region is most commonly involved. Recently, there have been reports about Crohn’s disease isolated to the colon, which may be associated with different clinical behaviour and the need for various treatment options.
Materials/Methods
The study included 305 patients with CD, 171 women (56%) and 134 men (44%), hospitalized at the Department of Gastroenterology, University Hospital in Lodz. Among them, a group of 101 patients was identified with a lesion location only in the colon (L2) and 204 in the small intestine and colon (L1 and L3). An attempt was made to analyze patients with CD in terms of demographic data, clinical behavior of the disease and location of inflammatory lesions.
Results
Among the features distinguishing the location of inflammatory lesions isolated to the colon (L2), statistically significantly less frequent occurrence of stenoses (21% at L2 location to 79% at L3, p <0.01) was observed compared to other locations. Moreover, patients with location of L2 lesions required surgery less frequently (27% with L2 vs. 73% L1 with L3, p <0.05). It was also demonstrated that among all the subjects, 42 patients underwent appendectomy before the diagnosis of CD, which constituted 19% of the L2 group patients to 81% of the L1 and L3 group (p <0.05).
Conclusions
In CD there is a great diversity in the clinical behavior of the disease, which is undoubtedly related to its location. The obtained results indicate that in the group of patients with the location isolated to the colon, stenoses are less common and patients require surgery less frequently.

Gastroenterology 2020; 159:873-883.e1. [PMID: 32389666 PMCID: PMC7502466 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2020.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 92] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Inflammation is a potential mechanism through which diet modulates the onset of inflammatory bowel disease. We analyzed data from 3 large prospective cohorts to determine the effects of dietary inflammatory potential on the risk of developing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We collected data from 166,903 women and 41,931 men in the Nurses' Health Study (1984-2014), Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2015), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2012). Empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) scores were calculated based on the weighted sums of 18 food groups obtained via food frequency questionnaires. Self-reported CD and UC were confirmed by medical record review. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS We documented 328 cases of CD and 428 cases of UC over 4,949,938 person-years of follow-up. The median age at IBD diagnosis was 55 years (range 29-85 years). Compared with participants in the lowest quartile of cumulative average EDIP score, those in the highest quartile (highest dietary inflammatory potential) had a 51% higher risk of CD (HR 1.51; 95% CI 1.10-2.07; Ptrend = .01). Compared with participants with persistently low EDIP scores (at 2 time points, separated by 8 years), those with a shift from a low to high inflammatory potential of diet or persistently consumed a proinflammatory diet had greater risk of CD (HR 2.05; 95% CI 1.10-3.79 and HR 1.77; 95% CI 1.10-2.84). In contrast, dietary inflammatory potential was not associated with the risk of developing UC (Ptrend = .62). CONCLUSIONS In an analysis of 3 large prospective cohorts, we found dietary patterns with high inflammatory potential to be associated with increased risk of CD but not UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated colonic Crohn's disease (cCD) responds less well to induction therapy with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) compared with ileal or ileocolonic disease in adult patients; therefore, we aimed to identify the factors that influence the response to EEN and develop a predictive nomogram model to optimize the use of EEN in cCD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-five cCD patients treated with EEN as first-line therapy at our center between 1 June 2012 and 30 June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed as the primary cohort. The primary endpoint was clinical remission after EEN therapy. Potential predictive factors for the efficacy of EEN were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses, and a nomogram to predict the response to EEN therapy in cCD patients was designed. Another 19 cCD patients were retrospectively included in the validation cohort to verify the accuracy of the nomogram model. RESULTS The clinical remission rates for the primary cohort and validation cohort were 52.9% and 47.4%, respectively. Pancolitis was the greatest contributor to the risk of failure to respond to EEN [odds ratio (OR) = 4.896; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.223-19.607; p = 0.025], lean body mass index (LBMI), colonic lesion features, simple endoscopic scores for Crohn's disease, C-reactive protein before treatment and ∆prealbumin were also related to the efficacy of EEN in cCD. The nomogram model showed robust discrimination, with an area under the receiving operating characteristic curve of 0.906. CONCLUSION Several predictive factors for response to EEN therapy in cCD adult patients were identified, and a promising nomogram that can predict the effect of EEN in cCD was developed.
