Crohn’s Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in your digestive system.  Symptoms of Crohn’s disease are painful, embarrassing and sometimes life-threatening:

  • Severe stomach cramps
  • Chronic watery diarrhea
  • Bloody stools
  • Ulcer
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fever
  • Arthritis
  • Fatigue
  • Delayed growth
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency

Crohn’s Disease: What You Can Do about it Now

One of the best ways to treat IBD is to follow a diet plan that alleviates most of the symptoms. There are many food ingredients that are associated with increased Crohn’s disease symptoms: dairy, gluten, sugar, and grains, for example.

The gluten-free diet excludes all food items that contain gluten, a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oats and others.

The casein-free diet eliminates the specific protein that occurs naturally in milk, while the dairy-free diet rules out all dairy products as a whole.

The  Specific Carbohydrate Diet eliminates certain carbohydrates and encourages eating more meat, nuts, eggs, and vegetables. The Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) diet involves reducing complex carbohydrates, processed foods, gluten, and sugar.
