Nutritional supplementation with polymeric diet enriched with transforming growth factor-beta 2 for children with Crohn's disease.

Abstract

In this cohort of children with Crohn's disease, supplementation of the diet with Modulen IBD as well as supplementation with Ensure Plus was associated with a decrease in PCDAI. The children supplemented with Modulen IBD also showed improvement in BMI, suggesting an additional advantage of nutritional therapy in children with this disease.
