Nutritional Therapy for IBD

What is Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN)?
EEN is a medically supervised liquid diet that provides all essential nutrients through specialized nutritional supplement formulas, usually for around 6–8 weeks.
It is a well-established therapy to induce remission in paediatric Crohn’s disease and is increasingly being explored in adults.
EEN can also be used during flares, before or after surgery, or while waiting for new treatments to start.
It is recommended as a first-line therapy for paediatric Crohn’s in many countries due to high remission rates and minimal side effects.

Benefits include:
Reduced gut inflammation
Improved nutritional status, growth, and energy
A steroid-free treatment option, avoiding corticosteroid side effects

Always follow EEN under guidance from your IBD dietitian or gastro team.

For full references and more information on Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN), check out our website.

Exclusive Enteral nutrition involves the use of a nutritionally complete liquid diet which is often an over-the-counter meal replacement formula that provides all daily calories. Thus no solid food is taken for the duration of the treatment, usually 6- 8 weeks

🍽️ Nutrition in IBD isn’t just about what you eat it’s also about how you eat.

Small changes to your eating habits and mealtime routines can support digestion and help you feel more in control.

Here are 6 simple habits to try:
1️⃣ Chew thoroughly & slow down
2️⃣ Eat at regular times
3️⃣ Share meals when you can
4️⃣ Gentle post-meal movement
5️⃣ Pause & breathe before eating
6️⃣ Minimise screens during meals

✨ These habits aren’t a replacement for medical care or dietitian guidance, but they can make your mealtimes calmer, more mindful, and supportive of your gut.
