Controlled multicentre therapeutic trial of an unrefined carbohydrate, fibre rich diet in Crohn's disease.

چکیده
Between 1 September 1980 and 31 August 1983, 352 patients with inactive or mildly active Crohn's disease but not taking drug treatment apart from sulphasalazine were entered from 40 hospitals into a prospective trial to assess the effects of two different diets on disease activity over two years. One hundred and sixty two patients were randomly allocated to take a diet unrestricted in sugar and low in fibre and 190 to a diet with little or no sugar and high in unrefined carbohydrate. No clear difference in clinical course was detected among patients who accepted the two different types of dietary advice.

Treatment of Crohn's disease with an unrefined-carbohydrate, fibre-rich diet.
Thirty-two patients with Crohn's disease were treated with a fibre-rich, unrefined-carbohydrate diet in addition to conventional management and followed for a mean of four years and four months. Their clinical course was compared retrospectively with that of 32 matched patients who had received no dietary instruction. Hospital admissions were significantly fewer and shorter in the diet-treated ...
متن کاملComparison between the bacterial and oligosaccharide content of ileostomy effluent in subjects taking diets rich in refined or unrefined carbohydrate.
Dietary surveys have shown that patients with Crohn's disease tend to eat more sucrose than control subjects and this investigation was undertaken to determine whether a diet rich in refined carbohydrate affects the bacterial flora of the terminal ileum. Ileostomy effluent in five patients with Crohn's disease and five with ulcerative colitis after two weeks on a diet rich in sucrose and refine...
متن کاملWhole foods and increased dietary fibre improve blood glucose control in diabetic children.
In prescribing a diabetic diet more attention has traditionally been paid to the amount of dietary carbohydrate than to its type or structure. We have compared the effect on blood glucose of substituting unrefined, whole foods for refined, processed foods in liberal carbohydrate diets (50-55% of dietary energy) eaten by 10 diabetic children in a randomised crossover study. All measurements were...
متن کاملDietary fibre in under- and overnutrition in childhood.
Children in developing countries pass stools that are very different from those passed by children in Europe. These stools reflect a diet of unrefined carbohydrate with low-energy density, and which due to the large volume results in an energy deficit in the child. This energy deficit is now considered to be the major cause of the almost universal undernutrition. Much of the improved health in ...
متن کاملDiet and gall stones: effects of refined and unrefined carbohydrate diets on bile cholesterol saturation and bile acid metabolism.
It has been suggested that consumption of refined carbohydrate foods (notably sugar and white flour) increases bile cholesterol saturation and hence the risk of cholesterol gall stone formation. To test this hypothesis, 13 subjects with probable cholesterol gall stones ate refined and unrefined carbohydrate diets, each for six weeks in random order. On the refined carbohydrate diet, subjects at...
