Funded Activity Summary

Crohn's disease occurs at any age, even in young children. One treatment for CD involves the use of a special drink (nutritional treatment). This works well for CD in children, helping to settle symptoms and heal the bowel surface. Despite being established as a treatment for 20 years, it is not yet clear how it works. These studies aim to work out how nutritional treatments work in CD. This should expand our knowledge about CD and may lead to further ways to prevent or manage CD.
