Diet Counseling And Crohn's Disease

While there is no standard diet for Crohn's Disease, diet modifications can help with symptom management. Diet restrictions are usually temporary during times of disease activity or during post-operative recovery periods.

 

Any diet modifications should be discussed with your doctor or dietitian. Changes to usual food choices need to be practical and realistic,while taking into consideration individual choices for reasons of religion, culture, ethnicity, beliefs, personal food preferences, tolerances, allergies, phobias, lifestyle, employment, sports, and financial considerations. This is why diet modifications aren't just about changing something like fiber in your diet; they are individualized recommendations that work for you as an individual living with IBD.
