Following a personalized Crohn’s disease diet may help you to alleviate symptoms and minimize flare-ups
Crohn’s disease is a complex gastrointestinal condition that can cause issues such as nutrient malabsorption and inflammation throughout the digestive tract. As it is a disease of the digestive system, a Crohn’s disease diet can be an important way to help alleviate symptoms and support remission in patients.
What to eat in a flare-upRoxana Ehsani , a registered dietitian nutritionist and a national media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says that it is best to eat a light, low-fat, bland diet during the first few days.
