Dietary intake of inulin-type fructans in active and inactive Crohn’s disease and healthy controls: a case–control study

Background and Aims:Prebiotic inulin-type fructans are widely consumed in the diet and may have contrasting effects in Crohn's disease by stimulating gut microbiota and/or by generating functional gastrointestinal symptoms. The aim of this study was to measure fructan and oligofructose intakes in patients with active and inactive Crohn's disease compared with healthy controls.
