(Inflammation) "Not all superfoods are good"... What should you eat when you have inflammation?

Superfoods are a group of foods known to be nutritious and boost immunity. . But people with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease need to be careful with even healthy superfoods.

When choosing a low-fiber diet to alleviate symptoms, eating high-fiber superfoods can be difficult to digest. There are specific superfoods suitable for Crohn's disease.

 

The effects of certain foods may vary from person to person. It's best to try new foods one at a time to see which ones alleviate or worsen your symptoms.

 

In this regard, we looked into foods recommended for Crohn's disease, as recommended by the American health and medical media outlet "Everyday Health." Beyond these foods, hydration, avoiding problematic foods, and taking prescribed medications are also important for symptom relief.

sweet potato

 

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, B vitamins, manganese, potassium, and the amino acid tryptophan. Studies have shown that sweet potatoes are one of the top three anti-inflammatory foods for people with Crohn's disease. Purple sweet potatoes are also high in anthocyanins and antioxidant activity, which help prevent inflammation associated with oxidative stress. They have also been shown to help maintain good bacteria in the gut.

 

brown seaweed

 

Wakame is an underrated superfood that's good for inflammatory bowel disease. Studies show that wakame contains numerous nutrients that help reduce the risk of inflammation. Other studies have shown that wakame helps regulate gut bacteria by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.

 

salmon

 

Many seafoods are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce intestinal inflammation and help alleviate the symptoms of ulcerative colitis in some people. Salmon is a good source of protein and is gentle on the stomach. When preparing salmon, avoid adding fat or spices and use simple cooking methods.

 

berries

 

For patients with Crohn's disease, easily digestible fruits like strawberries and blueberries are recommended. These fruits have antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage. Studies have shown that blueberries are high in anthocyanins, which protect the body from oxidative damage and inflammation.

 

soy milk

 

If you have lactose intolerance, a common condition associated with Crohn's disease, consider substituting soy milk for cow's milk. Soy milk contains isoflavones, which help reduce inflammation. Isoflavones also help regulate gut bacteria.

 

yogurt

 

Yogurt is a rich source of probiotics (beneficial bacteria) that help promote gut health. Unlike dairy cheese, yogurt is a dairy product that is well tolerated by people with irritable bowel syndrome. The beneficial bacteria in yogurt help break down lactose, making it easier on the stomach. Choose yogurt without added sugar or sugar substitutes.

 

cooked vegetables

 

Eating raw vegetables can worsen symptoms. If symptoms are severe, eat well-cooked vegetables. Make clear soups with low-fat broth or puree vegetables. It's best to continue to avoid high-fiber vegetables or those that cause gas. Celery, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are among the foods to avoid if you have IBS.
