Fat composition in the diet may help explain the benefits of enteral nutrition in inducing remission from Crohn’s disease, according to the results of a double-blind, randomized, multicenter European trial reported in the August issue of Gut.
“The therapeutic mechanisms of enteral nutrition in Crohn’s disease are unknown,” write M. A. Gassull, from Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol in Badalona, Spain, and colleagues. “This is the first trial to show that fat may play a key role in the primary therapeutic effect of enteral nutrition in active Crohn’s disease.”
