Incorporation of Plant-Based Diet Surpasses Current Standards in Therapeutic Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (WFPB)

NTforIBD Comment: NTforIBD newsletter 2023 Q2

Summary Excerpt: The authors describe their experience using a modality at their center in Japan since 2003 incorporating a plant-based diet (PBD), (a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet, allowing fish consumption once a week and meat every other week) with Infliximab as a first-line (IPF) therapy administered for all patients with newly diagnosed Crohn’s disease and severe ulcerative colitis.

May 2023 A Systematic Review of the Role of Diet in Ulcerative Colitis MED, Low-FODMAP, Other Diets - UC, SCD, WFPB, AIP, IBD-AID Abbas N, et al. "atients with UC may be able to improve their symptoms and overall quality of life through dietary interventions. While FODMAP-restricted diets, the Mediterranean diet, and anti-inflammatory diets have shown promise in reducing intestinal inflammation and improving UC patient outcomes, other types of diets mentioned in previous studies should also be considered.

Jan 2023 Dietary Exposures and Interventions in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Evidence and Emerging Concepts SCD, MED, Low-FODMAP, WFPB, IBD-AID Gubatan, J. et al Specific dietary interventions have been shown to reduce symptoms, improve inflammatory biomarkers, and quality of life metrics to varying degrees, but these studies are limited by study design, underpowering, heterogeneity, and confounding. While no definitive recommendations regarding specific dietary interventions as therapy in IBD can be made at this clinicians together with a dedicated nutritionist should discuss types of dietary interventions previously investigated, possible benefits and risks, and quality of evidence with patients who may be interested in incorporating dietary changes to their standard therapies.

In this review, we summarize the literature on diet as treatment for IBD. We highlight the latest clinical dietary studies, randomized clinical trials, as well as new and emerging diets for the treatment of IBD. Current opinion in gastroenterology, 38(4), 358–372.

Mar 2021 Diet in Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases EEN, PEN, SCD, IBD-AID, AIP, CDED, WFPB, CD-TREAT Sasson AN et al We review findings from studies of the effects of dietary patterns, single micronutrients, and food additives in inducing and maintaining remission in patients with IBD. We discuss future directions for research and propose a framework for studies of dietary interventions in the treatment of IBD.

Sep 2020 Systematic Review with Meta-analysis of Partial Enteral Nutrition for the Maintenance of Remission in Crohn's Disease PEN Yang H et al The rate of clinical relapse at 0.5 to 2 years was significantly lower in patients receiving PEN (420-1800 kcal/d) than in those not receiving nutrition therapy (RR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.54-0.82, P < .01; number needed to treat = 5, P < .01). Patients receiving PEN exhibited a higher frequency of clinical remission maintenance at 0.5 to 1 year (67%) than did those not receiving nutrition therapy (48%; RR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.07-1.64, P = .01).

Nov 2019 Dietary Management of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease EEN, SCD, IBD-AID, CDED Kaenkumchorn T and Kesavan A In particular, nutritional therapies for IBD have garnered significant interest due to their limited side effect profile, bowel-sparing nature, and naturalistic approach. This review will examine the role of diet in the pathogenesis and malnutrition in IBD, and will discuss dietary approaches to management of IBD, including exclusive enteral nutrition, specific carbohydrate diet, anti-inflammatory diet, and food supplements (specifically curcumin and long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids).

Oct 2019 Importance of Nutritional Therapy in the Management of Intestinal Diseases: Beyond Energy and Nutrient Supply EEN Kim SE In this article, we review various dietary nutrients and their contribution to the pathogenesis and treatment of various intestinal diseases including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, and diverticulitis, among other such disorders. A better understanding of diet-host-gut microbiome interactions is essential to provide beneficial nutrients for gut health and to limit nutritional hazards to ensure successful nutritional management of gastrointestinal conditions in clinical practice.
