Susceptibility to the development of Crohn's disease involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The association of Crohn's disease with westernization has implicated lifestyle factors in pathogenesis. While diet is a likely candidate, evidence for specific changes in dietary habits and/or intake has been lacking.

Systematic review and meta‐analysis: Association of a pre‐illness Western dietary pattern with the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease
TLDR
This study evaluated the role of a pre‐illness Western dietary pattern in the development of IBD and presented conflicting results on Western diets and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease.
Popular Exclusionary Diets for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The Search for a Dietary Culprit
TLDR
There is a bewildering array of new diets being tried by patients in an attempt to control diseases, so this review attempts to summarize the most common diets for the treating physician.
Elimination Diets for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
TLDR
The potential mechanisms of action through which diet affects intestinal inflammation are reviewed, the dietary components which have been reported to affect intestinal inflammation, and elimination diet interventions to treat Crohn’s disease and UC are reviewed.
Review article: FODMAPS, prebiotics and gut health‐the FODMAP hypothesis revisited
TLDR
Dietary restriction of dietary FODMAP intake can alleviate symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and their intake is being encouraged by addition to foods and via supplements.
Population‐based cases control study of inflammatory bowel disease risk factors
TLDR
The rapid increase in inflammatory bowel disease incidence confirms the importance of environment in its etiology and the role of childhood and other environmental risk factors in IBD.
A posteriori dietary patterns and risk of inflammatory bowel disease: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
TLDR
The results of the current meta-analysis showed that a healthy dietary pattern is associated with a lower risk of CD, and no significant relationship was found between healthy and western dietary patterns and risk of UC.
Overview of dietary choices for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
TLDR
Knowing about dietary factors that modify the gut's bacteria and cause aggravation of intestinal symptoms may help patients and their carers to modify their food intake and, thus, aid in controlling symptoms of IBD.
Food and Nutrient Intolerances
[Diet therapy for irritable bowel syndrome].
The review provides present information on the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the relationship of endogenous and exogenous factors with the development of IBS-symptoms, questions of…
Diet, nutrition and inflammatory bowel disease
TLDR
Dietary supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids and slowly fermentable dietary fiber have biologic plausibility as a treatment of IBD; however, the current data do not demonstrate a significant benefit.

Diet and Crohn's disease: characteristics of the pre-illness diet.
TLDR
A diet high in refined sugar and low in raw fruit and vegetables precedes and may favour the development of Crohn's disease.
Diet of women with Crohn's and other gastrointestinal diseases.
Pre-illness dietary factors in inflammatory bowel disease.
TLDR
An association was found between pre-illness diet and subsequent development of UC and CD and the effect of dietary components may be primary or modulatory.
Increased sugar consumption in Crohn's disease.
TLDR
Patients with Crohn's disease ate significantly more sugar than either controls or patients with ulcerative colitis at the time of interview, and their use of sugar had changed little since the onset of symptoms.
Dietary habits as risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease.
TLDR
The data confirm that patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have a high intake of total carbohydrate, starch and refined sugar and that carbohydrate consumption is significantly higher in IBD patients than in healthy controls.
A review of associations between Crohn’s disease and consumption of sugars
TLDR
Evidence suggesting a relationship between sugars and onset of Crohn’s disease was inconsistent and subject to important methodological limitations and there appeared to be no clinical advantage to the use of reduced sugar diets in Crohn's disease treatment.
Dietary Risk Factors for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Multicenter Case‐Control Study in Japan
TLDR
The present findings suggest the importance of dietary factors for IBD prevention and the shortcoming of recall bias, which is inherent in most retrospective studies, is inherent.
Diet and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Case-Control Study
TLDR
An increased relative risk of both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis associated with consumption of fast foods was found and coffee seemed to provide a protective effect for both diseases.
Consumption of refined carbohydrate by patients with Crohn's disease in Tel-Aviv-Yafo.
TLDR
Several factors are discussed which suggest a secondary rather than causal relationship between sugar consumption and Crohn's disease.
Smoking and sugar intake are separate but interactive risk factors in Crohn's disease.
TLDR
Findings indicate that while smoking and AS are individually associated with CD combined exposure results in no further increase in risk, suggesting that they may operate through a common mechanism.
