First off I will go over the best foods for Crohn’s and the foods that may be best to be avoided! Then I will go over supplements and lifestyle practices that can be extremely helpful!
Best Foods to Consume Include:
- Wild-caught fish, organic chicken, and organic grass-fed beef
- Bone broth – provides important minerals and helps prevent malnutrition
- Fresh veggie juices – easier to digest and absorb nutrients from than raw, whole veggies
- Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and kombucha – high in probiotics
Foods To Avoid/Limit:
- Alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods – can irritate the digestive system
- Foods high in insoluble fiber – can irritate the digestive system
- Sugary processed foods – can cause inflammation
Helpful Supplements Include:
*Consult with your healthcare provider before taking any new supplements
- Fish oil – the omega 3’s in it helps reduce inflammation
- Probiotics – helps balance healthy gut flora
- Multivitamin – helps replace nutrients that may be lost from malabsorption; chewable/disintegrating is best to increase absorption
- L-Glutamine – glutamine helps with cell turnover and wound healing
- Aloe vera juice – helps to soothe and heal the digestive tract
- Turmeric/Curcumin – helps reduce inflammation
Helpful Lifestyle Practices:
- Stress reduction practices (deep breathing, meditation, yoga, journaling, etc.)
