Nutrition therapy of Crohn's disease is considered the first-line of treatment for Crohn's disease in children, especially in Europe. This article discusses the role, mechanism, and the available updated evidence supporting use of this treatment to induce and maintain remission of Crohn's disease. It also highlights the importance of the team approach in achieving success using this treatment. Future research-related topics are briefly summarized.
