Prolonged Maintenance of Remission with Crohn Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) in Two Siblings with Crohn Disease

Dietary and nutritional interventions have been shown to have roles in managing active Crohn disease (CD), with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) being recommended as the preferred initial treatment in children following diagnosis. In recent years, other nutritional interventions such as the Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) have been considered and evaluated for induction therapy. To date, the long-term benefits of CDED have not been established. This report highlights the outcomes of the prolonged use of CDED in two siblings with CD.
