Researchers want to understand how inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) affects how much energy your child's body needs to function. They will measure your child's resting energy expenditure—the calories their body burns at rest—and see how it changes as their disease is treated. This information could help doctors give better nutrition advice to children with inflammatory bowel disease.
Children with inflammatory bowel disease often have trouble gaining weight and growing normally because of chronic inflammation and malnutrition. Doctors don't yet fully understand how much extra energy these children need, which makes it hard to create the right nutrition plans. This study aims to fill that gap so children get the right amount of nutrition support.

Your child will visit the hospital or clinic three times: at diagnosis, after starting treatment, and during routine follow-up appointments. At each visit, they will have a special breathing test to measure how much energy their body uses at rest (it takes about 20–30 minutes and is painless). The research team will also collect routine information already gathered during regular care, like blood tests, measurements of height and weight, and a record of what your child has eaten. The entire study lasts several months.
