Crohn's Disease
Supplements studied for crohn's disease.
Overview
Evidence for supplements in Crohn's disease is limited and mostly discouraging. Glutamine (WA 36; very low effect size, medium evidence, medium trust) did not improve symptoms in adults or children and may have worsened disease in some trials. Curcumin (WA 28; very low effect size, low evidence, low trust) was associated with more severe post-surgical recurrence in one study and is not recommended for that use.
Boswellia, kefir, and nattokinase each rest on single small or uncontrolled studies with low trust. Kefir reduced bloating in one study without a comparison group. Overall, no supplement here shows reliable benefit for Crohn's disease. The heatmap and evidence reviews below summarize each entry.
