Eat Low-Fiber Fruit And Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables form the basis of a healthy eating plan. Crohn’s can make it difficult to eat them. Like whole grains, fruits and vegetables are high in fiber. This can cause diarrhea and flare ups. By choosing carefully which fruits and vegetables to eat, patients can still reap the benefits of these foods. Experts recommend that patients eat low-fiber fruits rather than completely removing these foods from their diet. Cherry, plums and peaches are some of the fruits you should avoid. Crohn’s patients should avoid artichokes and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and cauliflower.
Applesauce can be consumed to reduce the amount of digestion required for apples. Squash, bananas, pumpkins and cantaloupes are also easy to digest. It is best to cook vegetables or steam them before eating them for those with Crohn’s. It helps to break down the fibers that are not digestible before they enter their digestive tract. Bell Peppers, and well-peeled cucumbers are often also safe to eat. The peel of a cucumber can irritate your digestive system.
