Crohns Disease Diet and Nutrition Guide |
The role of diet is very important in Crohn's disease and should be considered as an important add-on treatment to medical therapies. Although there is no evidence to show that the condition is caused by nutritional factors, the food you eat can affect the symptoms of Crohn’s Disease.
Unfortunately, there is no single effective Crohn's disease diet that will reduce symptoms for all patients. A Chron's disease diet may vary from individual to individual and may need to be changed, depending on symptoms or complications.
During an acute phase of crohns disease, bulky foods, milk and milk products may increase diarrhea and cramping. Crohn's Disease patients should avoid the following foods and liquids:
Dairy foods, high fiber foods, hot spicy foods, alcohol & caffeine, foods containing saturated fats, found in meat and dairy products (some fats such as in fish oil may be helpful), products containing corn or gluten, those made from wheat, oats, barley, or triticale, foods such as soy, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes, gas-producing foods likw cabbage family vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts), dried peas and lentils, onions and chives, peppers and carbonated drinks, simple sugars, dried fruits and high-sugar fruits, such as grapes, watermelon, or pineapple.
Most dietitians with experience of Crohn's disease will simply recommend a healthy balanced diet free of any foods that aggravate the symptoms. Choosing a proper diet for Chron's disease is important. The identification of trigger foods and the introduction of foods that help ease the symptoms is a slow but essential part of overcoming Chron's disease.
