Summary

Recent data suggest that diet in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may lead to both symptom control and disease remission. Historically certain diets have been recommended for patients with Crohn's disease during exacerbations despite lack of data supporting efficacy. The investigators propose to evaluate two such diets by randomizing 32 subjects with mildly to moderately active Crohn's disease to one of two diets that differ in the amount and type of carbohydrates and fiber. Subjects will remain on the diet for 8 weeks and will be evaluated for changes from baseline in inflammatory biomarkers, symptomatic disease activity, and the microbiome.
