Summary

Time-restricted feeding (TRF) is a dietary regimen involving the consumption of food and liquids within a defined time window with or without additional restriction on dietary composition. TRF has been associated with improvements in inflammation, host metabolism, autophagy, gut microbial composition, and gut permeability. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology that likely results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. This proposed study will test the hypothesis that a time-restricted feeding regimen will improve clinical outcomes and favorably influence the gut microbiome in patients with active Crohn's disease. If time-restricted fasting proves beneficial to this patient population then it will pave the way for larger, prospective studies and clinical trials.

Conditions

  • Crohn's Disease (CD)

Interventions

OTHER

Time Restricted Feeding

The counseling on the regimen will involve instructing the subjects on study compliance and fasting times. Subjects will be instructed to choose an eight-hour eating window (e.g., 11:00am - 7:00pm) during which the patient will be able to eat his/her normal diet. During the 16-hour fasting window (e.g., 7:00pm - 11:00am), the participant will be able to drink regular water and black coffee.
