What to Eat For
Crohn's?
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (which are sometimes called “inflammatory
bowel disease,” or IBD) can cause many nutrition problems. For example:
• You may not digest and absorb the food you eat.
• You may need more of some vitamins and minerals.
• Some of the medicines you take may affect your ability to eat.
The following nutritional guidelines may help improve your health and control your
IBD symptoms.
Nutritional Guidelines
- Eat small meals or snacks every 3 or 4 hours.
- When you have symptoms, stick to foods lower in
fiber.
- When diarrhea
decreases, you may have small amounts of whole grain
foods and higher-fiber fruits and vegetables. Try
them one at a time. If you have abdominal pain or
diarrhea, then stop eating the new food. You can try
it again at a later date.
- Drink enough fluids to
prevent dehydration. Aim for at least 8 cups of
fluid each day.
- Eat foods that have added probiotics and
prebiotics. Ask your registered dietitian (RD) for
good choices.
- Use a multivitamin. You may need more of some
vitamins and minerals than you do when you are
healthy. Ask your RD about taking supplements.
- During periods when
you don’t have symptoms, include whole grains and a
variety of fruits and vegetables in your eating
plan. Start new foods one at a time, in small
amounts.
