Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to explore if an already established diet with anti-inflammatory effect in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease would have an anti-inflammatory effect in children with JIA. The diet is called specific carbohydrate diet.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Children classified with JIA, in a low-to-medium disease activity and without having changed DMARD or bDMARD in the last 12 weeks are included. Only motivated children and parents can participate. Before inclusion the family are informed orally about the study plan, the diet and practical issues regarding the study and they receive written information including for example a product list and a recipe booklet. A dietician and the principal investigator follows the child and parents during visits, by mail and phone. After the baseline visit, the family has two weeks to get used to the new diet. At baseline, after two, four and twelve weeks on the diet the child is examined, blood exams are performed and blood is stored at -70, fecal samples and urine is also collected. At inclusion and after four weeks saliva sample for bacteria is collected. The child fills in the child health assessment questionnaire, (CHAQ) for a score of the physical ability and DisabKids for an overall assessment of the childs well-being.

Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

The specific carbohydrate diet has been shown to have beneficial effects on IBD and has been implemented in Seattle Children's IBD centre, with some patients using SCD either as primary or complementary therapy. The SCD is a nutritionally balanced diet focused on removing many complex carbohydrates such as grains, dairy products except for yoghurt fermented over 24 hours, vegetables rich in starch and sugars except for monosaccharides like in honey. Participants can eat meat but since it has to be unprocessed food the investigator's experience is that the amounts of meat are not very big. Fish, eggs, sea-food is allowed. Bread is baked from nut and almond flour.
