Summary

A research team from King's College London are investigating how diet can be used as a treatment for Crohn's disease. The investigators have designed a new diet and eventually wish to test whether the diet can be used to manage Crohn's disease and reduce gut inflammation. Before doing this, the investigators need to find out how practical it is for people to follow the diet for 14 days by conducting this 'feasibility' study. A feasibility study is a small study that aims to highlight any issues before informing the design of a larger research trial. The diet the investigators have designed is called the Crohn's Diet. The evidence for this diet is based on recent research which suggests that certain food ingredients may be involved in triggering gut inflammation. The study's primary aim is to assess the practicalities of following the Crohn's Diet. It will also assess compliance to the Crohn's Diet and if following it changes the nutritional balance from the normal diet.
