The environmental factors, and in particular diet, play a major role in the pathogenesis of CD.

On the other hand, enteral nutrition, exclusive or partial, is known to be effective in the initial treatment of CD, especially in pediatrics. There are a number of evidence in favor of a nutritional management nutritional management of caloric restriction during inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis,whose physiopathology is similar to that of IBD.
