Diet plan for Crohn's disease patients after bowel surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional program delivers a dietary therapy modeled on the nutrient composition of exclusive enteral nutrition but adapted to Chinese foods and cost constraints. It is offered to patients with Crohn's disease who have undergone bowel resection and can take oral nutrition after surgery. Participants follow the prescribed dietary pattern with clinical follow-up to monitor remission status, complications, and nutritional measures. The protocol excludes patients with stomas, obstructive strictures, significant comorbid autoimmune disease, extreme BMI values, or recent prolonged antibiotic/probiotic use.
