Foods that are bad for Crohn's disease and should be avoided

Let's find out about foods that are bad for Crohn's disease and foods you should avoid eating.

 

Hello! Today, I would like to talk about diet related to Crohn's disease. When I first started, I was very confused about what to eat and which foods to avoid, but now I have some guidelines. I hope sharing my experience will also be helpful to you. 😊

 

If you have Crohn's disease, it seems especially important to avoid foods that burden digestion. Below are the foods I know of and have heard from my doctor that are not good for Crohn's disease:

 

1. High-fat foods
   Fried foods and foods high in fat are difficult to digest and can strain the intestines. Therefore, I try to avoid fast foods like hamburgers, French fries, and greasy foods.

 

1. Vegetables and fruits high in fiber
   Fiber plays a beneficial role in the intestines, but for Crohn's disease patients, foods with excessive fiber can actually be irritating. Especially raw vegetables and fruits with skins should preferably be cooked or peeled before eating.

 

 

1. Dairy products
   If you have lactose intolerance, dairy products like milk and cheese can interfere with digestion and worsen symptoms. I didn't know at first either, but once I stopped consuming dairy, I felt a bit better.

 

 

1. Stimulating foods (spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol)
   One of the things that is particularly bad for Crohn's disease is spicy food. I used to like spicy food in the past, but now I have given it up. They say that alcohol and caffeine can also irritate the intestines, so it's better to avoid them.

 

1. Processed foods and foods with many additives
   Instant foods and processed foods can be burdensome to the body. I am also trying to avoid processed grains and snacks high in sugar.

 

Since dietary therapy can vary from person to person, it's important to find foods that suit your body. Paying close attention to how your body reacts while eating can be helpful. Everyone, take care of your health, and let's stay strong together! 💪
