入选标准

  • 1. Aged 16 years or older, either sex
  • 2. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease for at least 3 months defined by histology or radiology
  • 3. Quiescent (inactive) disease as defined by a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) below 150
  • 4. Normal C-reactive protein (CRP) as defined by local laboratory
  • 5. On stable Crohn's disease therapy with a total steroid dose not exceeding 10 mg prednisolone or equivalent
  • 6. Relatives of patients:
  • 6.1. Will be aged between 16 and 35 years
  • 6.2. Will be a first degree relative of a patient as described above. Relatives older than 35 will not be recruited to maximise the chance of including some individuals who will develop Crohn's disease in the future.
  • 7. Healthy controls will comprise age-matched patients with functional constipation or those undergoing polyp surveillance who are scheduled to undergo flexible sigmoidoscopy. A second group of controls who will not undergo sigmoidoscopy will comprise healthy volunteers.
  • Concomitant medication:
  • Patients currently taking maintenance oral 5 aminosalicylic acid (5ASA) therapy must have been on a stable dose for 4 weeks prior to study entry, and will be maintained at the same dose for the duration of the study. No rectally administered medications (steroid or 5ASA) are allowed for the two weeks preceding entry to the study. Patients on a stable dose of oral (not exceeding 10 mg) prednisolone or equivalent for 4 weeks prior to baseline are permitted to enter the study. Patients taking azathioprine or 6 mercaptopurine must have commenced the drug at least 16 weeks prior to entry to the study and been maintained on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to entry. No antibiotics, probiotics or prebiotics will be used during the study or for the preceding month. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will not be permitted for 1 week before entry to the study. The requirement for a normal CRP is to ensure inactive disease.
  • For participants in study two, no changes in medication will be permitted during the study period. Participants requiring changes to their drug regime will be withdrawn from the study and continue with their usual medical care.
