Zuckerkonsum bei Patienten mit Morbus Crohn

Increased Sugar Consumption in Crohn’s Disease

“…Two thirds of the patients in both groups had not changed their sugar intake, but almost half of the controls reduced it. The major difference in consumption of sugar is in line with previous findings where the amounts of refined sugar (4) and sugar (6,7) are significantly greater in patients with Crohn's disease compared with controls.…”

Consumption of refined carbohydrate by patients with Crohn’s disease in Tel-Aviv-Yafo

“…It is probable that this difference is present from early in the disease and is not due to chronic ill health (Mayberry, Rhodes and Newcombe, 1980). The data in this paper suggest that the differences do not depend on culture, and similar findings are now available from West Germany (Martini and Brandes, 1976;Miller et al, 1976;Kasper et al, 1977), the United Kingdom (Mayberry et al, 1978;Thornton et al, 1979) and Israel. However, because of the limitations discussed above, it is felt that the association between consumption of refined carbohydrate and Crohn's disease is unlikely to be more than a secondary association.…”

“…In contrast, the current figures for Cardiff (Mayberry, Rhodes and Hughes, 1979) are 4-8/105/year and 55-7/105. The possible role of diet in Crohn's disease has aroused considerable interest because several European studies (Martini and Brandes, 1976;Miller et al, 1976;Kasper et al, 1977;Mayberry, Rhodes and Newcombe, 1978;Thornton, Emmett and Heaton, 1979) have shown a difference in the consumption of carbohydrate, particularly sugar. Because of this, the authors examined some aspects of diet in patients living in Tel-Aviv and compared them with healthy controls from the same national and cultural groups.…”

Elimination Diets for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

“…No benefi t was observed in this study, with 35 % requiring surgery in the oral diet arm and 47 % requiring surgery in the bowel rest/TPN arm [ 33 ]. Similar results were reported in a separate study of 47 patients with acute colitis, with surgery being required in 11 % of patients in the bowel rest arm and 5 % in the oral diet arm (not statistically significant) [ 11 ]. Following these studies, the use of total bowel rest as therapy for IBD has been limited primarily to patients with short bowel syndrome or high output fi stulas.…”
