7 Best Foods for Crohn’s Disease - Article Health

What to eat if you have Crohn’s
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.
