Albenberg L, et al. - Researchers ascertained if reduced red and processed meat consumption decreases the risk of symptomatic Crohn's disease (CD) relapse by analyzing the outcomes of the Food and Crohn's Disease Exacerbation Study (FACES) study. Adults with CD were recruited from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Partners, an internet-based cohort of IBD patients, in the FACES trial from November 2013 to June 2015. A total of 118 people were assigned to a high-meat group and a low-meat group was allocated randomly to 96 people. The high-meat groups reported consumption of 2 or more portions of red or processed meat during the trial during 98.5% of the weeks observed compared to 18.8% of the weeks for the low-meat group. In 62% of candidates in the high-meat group and 42% of candidates in the low-meat group, any and moderate-to-severe relapse occurred. Overall, the authors concluded that the level of red and processed meat consumption was not related to time to symptomatic relapse among patients with CD in remission.
