Preoperative Nutrition for Crohn's Disease Patients
The investigator hypothesizes that compliance to Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) will be high among patients on an operation for their bowel disease, compared to the compliance rate seen in the general Crohn's Disease (CD) population.
Also,the investigator hypothesizes that clinical outcomes would improve, and post-operative complication rate will be reduces in malnourished CD patients receiving pre-operative 4 weeks EEN during the 4 weeks post-surgery, compared to CD patients receiving high energy and protein diet without EEN.
Inclusion: CD patients awaiting surgery.
Exclusion: Surgical procedure to reverse ileostomy/colostomy or abscess drainage; Subjects with chronic conditions such as cancer, organ transplant subjects, advanced kidney or liver disease, systemic inflammatory conditions other than IBD; Pregnancy and lactation; Subjects on TPN; Inability to sign informed consent and complete study protocol.
