If you’ve got inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), you need to make calories count.
Almond milk
Many people with Crohn’s are lactose intolerant. Luckily, there’s a great dairy alternative: almond milk, which is made from ground-up almonds and can be fortified to contain as much calcium as regular milk (check the label).
Eggs
Scrambled, hard-boiled, soft-cooked—any way you prepare them, eggs are an inexpensive source of easily digested protein.
Make sure you’ve always got some in the fridge.
Oatmeal
This comfort food is a great choice if you have Crohn’s. “Oatmeal is even OK when I’m flaring, if I’m not flaring too badly,” McDonald says.
Salmon
Twenty-five percent of the calories you eat should come from protein, which is key to healing.
Vegetable soups
“A lot of people I see are really, really afraid of eating vegetables,” says Dalessandro. “Most of the time their diet consists of a lot of white carbohydrate products, which of course are OK, but they don’t have a lot of nutrients.”
Papaya
People with Crohn’s may think they should avoid fruit, but even during a flare, tropical fruits like bananas are an easy-to-digest, nutritious option.
Pureed beans
Beans may sound like the ultimate no-no for anyone who’s having digestive trouble.
