About the webinar:

Exclusive enteral nutrition has long been an established therapy to induce remission in Crohn’s disease. As research and clinical practice have evolved, the Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) now gives dietitians a food-based alternative to meet patients’ needs, typically paired with partial enteral nutrition (PEN). Today, CDED + PEN is included in ESPEN, ECCO, and ESPGHAN recommendations for mild-to-moderate disease in children and adults. ​

Join Dr. Rotem Sigall-Boneh, clinical and research dietitian and co-developer of CDED, as she reviews how the diet has evolved over time and how to efficiently apply it in practice. We’ll cover implementation in children and adults, cultural adaptations, therapy duration and adherence, and the emerging research on CDED and the gut microbiome. ​

After the webinar, attendees will be able to: ​

  • Explain the evidence and current ESPEN, ECCO, and ESPGHAN recommendations for the Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) ​
  • Identify which patients and clinical settings may benefit from CDED, and when it may be used alone or alongside pharmacological and biologic therapies ​
  • Adapt CDED for children and adults across cultures and clinical settings, balancing whole foods, dietary restriction, and partial enteral nutrition to meet patients’ needs ​
