Study 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.

Primary Outcome

This will be measured to assess clinical response as determined by a reduction of either 8 or more points or a total PRO2 score of less than or equal to 8 points. The PRO2 score scale ranges from a score of 0 as the minimum and has no maximum limit. A score below 8 is considered remission; a score less than 14 is considered mild; and a score greater than 34 is considered severe.
