Dietary Guidance From the International Organization for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Recent evidence points to a plausible role of diet and the microbiome in the pathogenesis of both Crohn ’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Dietary therapies based on exclusion of table foods and replacement with nutritional formulas and/or a combination of nutritional formulas and specific table foods may induce remission in CD. In UC, specific dietary components have also been associated with flare of disease. While evidence of varying quality has identified potential harmful or beneficial dietary components, physicians and patients at the present time do not have guidance as to which foods are safe, may be protective or deleterious for these diseases.
