Impact of Ultra-Processed Food Reduction on Remission Duration in Pediatric Crohn's Disease
Sponsor: University Hospital, Motol
Summary
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This study will investigate whether reducing the intake of ultra-processed foods through regular consultations with a registered dietitian can help children and adolescents with Crohn's disease stay in remission for longer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving guidance on reducing ultra-processed foods or a control group receiving standard healthy eating advice. The study will also evaluate the safety, nutritional adequacy, growth, and quality of the dietary intervention.
