10. The method of claim 1, wherein the proteins of the composition consist of whey, casein, the threonine in free form, the serine in free form, the proline in free form, and the whey TGF-Beta.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the threonine in free form, the serine in free form, and the proline in free form are the only free form amino acids in the composition.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the carbohydrates are 20-40 energy percent of the composition, the total proteins are 35-55 energy percent of the composition, and the fats are 15-35 energy percent of the composition.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the carbohydrates are 25-35 energy percent of the composition, the total proteins are 40-50 energy percent of the composition, and the fats are 18-25 energy percent of the composition.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient is in remission from IBD.
