Abstrakt: Purpose of Review: This article provides an updated review on the role of diet in the risk of developing Crohn's disease (CD) and CD management, areas of ongoing study. Recent Findings: Higher intake of dietary fiber (fruit fiber) has been associated with a reduced risk for CD. The exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) diet remains the most validated nutritional recommendation for inducing remission in CD. The specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) has demonstrated reductions in CD severity scores in conjunction with medical therapies, and larger trials on its efficacy are ongoing. Several new exclusion diets modeled after EEN and SCD have shown potential efficacy in smaller studies that warrant replication. There is a paucity of clear dietary recommendations for the reduction in risk of CD clinical relapse. Summary: There are various components of diet that likely impact risk for CD development and contribute to its disease course; however, studies are often limited in their size or ability to demonstrate mechanistic causation. Further studies including diets that aim to expand on the restrictive nature of EEN may lead to stronger evidence for a diet-based approach to CD management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
