Could a microbiome signature be linked to sustained remission in children and adults treated with the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet?
@BonehRotem et al. could help identify patients most likely to achieve sustained remission through dietary therapy:

Rewarding to see our @HabermanLab study featured on the cover, laying the conceptual framework to underlying mechanism of escape from AT remission (=flare) d/t persistent dietary-metabolic gut perturbances. Hence the need for combined AT-nutrition trials

Happy to share our findings showing that high UPF is associated with an increased risk of relapse in patients with #CD.

🍞Are industrial breads rich in food additives the elephant in the room for people with #IBD❓
@Shelly_Shakhman, @TamarPfefferGik, @HenitYanaiMD, @Iris_Dotan, @LGodny & colleagues screened 233 breads in Israel and found:
✅ 37 different food additives were identified:
👉 84% were classified as highly processed
👉 An average of eight food additives
👉 Most breads contained preservatives (81%) and emulsifiers (76%)
✅ 51% of food additives used in the bread industry have been previously linked to:
🔥 Exacerbation of inflammation
🦠 Gut microbiome dysbiosis
⬆ cytokines that damage microbiota and the gut barrier
✅ Given the large quantities of bread consumed, the rise in mass production has led to a shift away from traditional baking methods
👉 High burden of IBD
💡 Food quality matters for IBD, and both patients and healthcare professionals should promote healthy eating choices that are away from the Western diet

Kids have their whole lives ahead of them—and I’m grateful to help them live it fully.
Spoke this week at SickKids Hospital @SickKidsNews in Toronto on @Evinature_ CurQD’s growing role in IBD care; The evidence base expanding, especially in pediatric cases!
#IBD#CurQD
🥣 Real-life data from Dutch patients with mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease show good adherence and positive experiences with the Crohn’s disease exclusion diet + PEN. Physicians reported sustained effectiveness; patients valued the Modulife platform.

Why not all children with Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet ➕ enteral nutrition achieve remission❓
💡 Tryptophan metabolites are associated with remission with dietary therapy
✅ Baseline assessment of kynurenine and ratios of tryptophan metabolites have the potential to predict dietary remission and non-remission 6 weeks later
🔸 The baseline fecal kynurenine level was ⬆️ in children in no remission
✅ Specific tryptophan metabolism features help predict the efficacy of nutritional therapies in pediatric Crohn's disease:
🔸 The ratio serotonin/kynurenine was the strongest predictor of Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet + partial enteral-induced remission
🔸 The ratio 5-hydroxytryptophan/kynurenine predicted remission when following an only-liquid diet
✅ Metabolic shifts in tryptophan metabolites toward healthy controls by following nutritional therapies may explain remission rates
🎓 @BonehRotem, @EytanWine, Johan E. Van Limbergen & colleagues
⭐ These findings could help personalize dietary therapy for children with Crohn's disease
@TAGastroenterol
This study on tryptophan metabolites as biomarkers for dietary remission in pediatric Crohn’s disease was led by @BonehRotem and colleagues. Their findings could help personalize dietary therapy for CD patients.
