Summary

This study tests whether adding a special diet called the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) to standard medication can help children and teens with unstable Crohn's disease avoid flare-ups for a full year. About 120 participants aged 6-17 will be randomly assigned to either continue their usual medication alone or add the diet. The goal is to see if the diet reduces the number of relapses over 12 months.
