Diet is an important factor influencing the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Several recent prospective cohorts have suggested various dietary factors may play a role in modifying the risk of these diseases. These include an inverse association between dietary fiber, fruit or vegetable intake and risk of CD and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and UC. In addition to macro-nutrients, dietary additives such as emulsifiers may also play a role.
