Reduction faecal calprotectin during EN is lost rapidly after food re‐introduction

-EN continues to decrease calprotectin at 8 weeks but at a slower rate
-Results show EN effectiveness might be dose-dependent (a similar study in Japan also suggested this)
-discontinuation of EN increases calprotectin within 17 days
-inflammation fully returns to pre-EN levels 52 days after discontinuation of EN
-low dose of maintenance EN is unable to prevent the return of inflammation
