Scientific title
Study objectivesDoes the removal of modern Western inorganic microparticles from the diet of patients with Crohn's disease improve their symptoms? The aims of the project are:
1. To characterise the undegradeable inorganic microparticulate matter of the modern Western diet
2. To compare the nutrient and microparticle intake in Crohn's disease versus controls
3. To undertake a multi-centre dietary intervention study of microparticle exclusion in Crohn's disease
