Our central hypothesis is that combination therapy of PEN and pharmacologic therapy is more efficacious than pharmacologic therapy alone and can be well-tolerated for patients.

Active disease seen at colonoscopy within 8 weeks of the screening visit. Active disease requires presence of mucosal breaks including either diffuse scattered erosions or at least one ulcer (\\>5mm diameter)\n3. Active disease on cross-sectional imaging (CT scan, MRI or ultrasound) within 8 weeks of the screening visit (evidence of acute inflammation, such as ulceration or bowel wall thickening with restricted diffusion)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. Pregnancy or breast feeding\n2. Presence of an ostomy\n3. Previous total colectomy\n4. Short gut syndrome from prior surgeries\n5.

Having been on the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) in the 2 weeks prior to screening\n7. Plan to receive two simultaneously administered advanced therapies\n8. Planning to start a new medication in the same class as the medication currently taking. This does not include a switch from Ustekinumab to anti-IL23 drugs.\n9. Impending need for CD surgery per investigator\n10. Symptomatic stricture or stricture inducing bowel dilation (\\>3cm) as per local investigator.\n11. \\>4 very soft or liquid bowel movements per day when feeling well\n12.
