To investigate the effect of increasing dietary polyunsaturated fat intake on fat absorption in Crohn's patients, normal subjects and subjects with inactive Crohn's disease consumed a high polyunsaturated to saturated fat ratio diet. Subjects participated in breath tests before and after six months of a high polyunsaturated to saturated (P/S) fat ratio diet to measure their response to [1-13C] 10:0 and [1-13C] 16:0 ingested with a test meal. Whole body absorption-oxidation of C10:0 was not affected by the diet treatment. Before diet treatment, whole body absorption-oxidation of C16:0 in Crohn's patients was 80% of that observed for control subjects. After consuming a high polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio diet, subjects increased oxidation of C16:0 by 85% compared to before the diet treatment period. It is concluded that (1) absorption of labelled C16:0 from a test meal is reduced in Crohn's patients, and (2) consumption of a high polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio diet improves the utilization of dietary C16:0 by Crohn's patients.
