Abstract
It remains unclear whether suboptimal response to exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in some children with Crohn's disease (CD) is explained by poor compliance. The current study measured faecal gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP), a biomarker of gluten intake, in 45 children (3–17 years) with CD, and explored associations with faecal calprotectin (FC) levels at 33 and 54 days of EEN. FC decreased in patients with undetectable GIP at both 33 and 54 days of EEN (mean decrease, 33 days: -743 mg/kg, 54 days: -1043 mg/kg, p < 0.001), but not in patients who had detectable levels. At EEN completion, patients with undetectable GIP had a lower FC by 717 mg/kg compared with patients with a positive GIP result (p = 0.042) and demonstrated a greater decline from baseline FC (-69% vs +5%, p = 0.011). Poorer response to EEN is explained in part by diminished compliance. Faecal GIP might be useful as proxy biomarker of EEN compliance.
