Summary

This study follows 300 children to understand how diet, gut bacteria, and Crohn's disease interact. Researchers will collect stool, blood, and tissue samples, plus daily food logs via an app. The goal is to build a personalized algorithm that predicts how diet affects inflammation and symptoms in children with Crohn's.
