May 2021 | A Randomized Trial Comparing the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to a Mediterranean Diet in Adults with Crohn's Disease | SCD, MD | Lewis JD et al | This study compares the SCD and MD on symptoms, fecal calprotectin and CRP at 6 and 12 weeks finding no statistical significance in these endpoints. | Gastroenterology. 2021;S0016-5085(21)03069-9. doi:10.1053/j.gastro.2021.05.047 |
| Oct 2020 | Effectiveness of Mediterranean Diet's Adherence in children with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases | MD | Strisciuglio C et al | Children with IBD in remission have a sub-optimal food intake compared to HCs. MD seems to correlate to decreased intestinal inflammation. | Nutrients . 2020 Oct 20;12(10):3206. doi: 10.3390/nu12103206. | |
| Oct 2020 | Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet Is Associated with Decreased Fecal Calprotectin in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis after Pouch Surgery | MD | Godny L et al | In patients with UC after pouch surgery, adherence to MED is associated with decreased calprotectin levels. Thus, MED may have a role in modifying intestinal inflammation in IBD. | Eur J Nutr . 2020 Oct;59(7):3183-3190. doi: 10.1007/s00394-019-02158-3. Epub 2019 Dec 7. | |
