Mount Sinai Hospital is participating in a research study to  explore the effectiveness of the “Tasty&Healthy” dietary approach based on avoiding “pro-inflammatory” and processed ingredients, for inducing and maintaining remission in young adults.

We are looking for individuals:


This study will last up to 24 weeks. Your Crohn’s Disease will be assessed and, if eligible, participants will be randomized into two randomized controlled trials both including the Tasty&Healthy dietary intervention for 8 weeks vs. 1) EEN (Modulen) in mild-moderate CD and vs. 2) a control group continuing their habitual diet. Responders from both trials will be offered to participate in an open label extension personalized-diet study of further 16 weeks (total 24 weeks). Reimbursement will be provided for study-related travel expenses and to assist in purchasing Tasty&Healthy foods.
