Summary

This study looks at how children with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis burn energy at rest. Researchers will measure resting energy expenditure using a special breathing test and compare it to standard formulas. The goal is to see if energy use is linked to disease activity and treatments. No new drugs or therapies are being tested.
