Abstract
Day, A. S., & Lopez, R. N. (2015). Exclusive enteral nutrition in children with Crohn’s disease. World Journal of Gastroenterology, 21(22), 6809–6816. https://doi.org/10.3748/wjg.v21.i22.6809
Exclusive enteral nutrition involves the use of a complete liquid diet, with the exclusion of normal dietary components for a defined period of time, as a therapeutic measure to induce remission in active Crohn's disease (CD). This very efficacious approach leads to high rates of remission, especially in children and adolescents newly diagnosed with CD. This intervention also results in mucosal healing, nutritional improvements and enhanced bone health.
