Diet for crohns disease
Eliminate any foods that provoke symptoms. Although some doctors advise patients to avoid all fried foods, dairy products, spices, and high-fiber foods, there is no specific diet for Crohn’s disease. The overall objective is to consume adequate calories, vitamins, and minerals without exacerbating symptoms. Try eliminating any food that seems to create problems for several weeks, and keep a diary of symptoms to determine whether giving it up is helpful. Eliminate only one type of food at a time, such as milk and other dairy products. Avoid foods high in fiber. High-fiber foods are generally discouraged because they may be irritating to the intestines, and they can also exacerbate diarrhea. High-fiber foods often are improperly digested and pass through to the colon where they can be digested by bacteria.
