This will be an open label, pilot study over 4 weeks in children with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease treated with a smoothie designed to emulate formulas used for exclusive enteral nutritional therapy. In place of formula, whole-foods based smoothie recipes and the food to create the smoothies will be given to each participant/family. The smoothies will be based upon the concept of reverse-engineering of exclusive enteral nutrition (RE-EEN). The smoothie recipes will involve whole foods that can be blenderized to liquid consistency. Similar to the formulas used for EEN, the smoothies will provide calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates in a distribution to support growth and development.
