Title: Crohns Disease Diet May Help Relieve Symptoms
Author: Patsy Hamilton
Article:
A Chrons disease diet plan may vary from individual to
individual and may need to be changed, depending on whether
symptoms are present or in remission. By following an
individualized Crohn diet, disease help or relief of symptoms
may be achieved.
A complete Crohns disease diet plan is important, but may need
to be altered when pain and symptoms are present. At all times,
but especially when diarrhea is present, proper hydration is
important, so individuals should consume at least eight 8 ounce
glasses of plain water per day. Purified or bottled drinking
water is best, because some studies suggest that symptoms could
be aggravated by chlorine or other chemicals in tap water.
When symptoms are absent adequate amounts of dietary fiber
should be included in a Crohn diet, disease help is achieved by
reducing the likelihood of constipation which can increase
inflammation and may bring on symptoms. During flare-ups dietary
fiber should be reduced. Milk and dairy products cause flare-ups
in those who are lactose intolerant and in some other people.
Research in London indicates that Crohns may be caused by a
bacteria sometimes present in milk, even after pasteurization.
If avoiding milk is necessary or desirable, adequate amounts of
calcium must be obtained from other sources. Most seafood and
fish are good alternative sources of calcium and contain
essential omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon, twice a week is
recommended by many nutritional experts for good health.
During periods when pain and other symptoms are present, eating
small meals several times is often recommended for Crohn diet
disease help. A high protein low carb diet is sometimes
recommended as a Crohns disease diet, because this regimen has
been shown to relieve symptoms in some individuals. Choosing
lean sources of protein is important, because fats have been
shown to increase diarrhea in some people. Nutritionists
sometimes recommend pre-digested nutritional drinks or an
"elemental diet" to replace lost nutrients and give the bowel a
rest.
Certain foods and products are known to aggravate and increase
symptoms and should be avoided. Foods containing sorbitol (an
artificial sweetener found in many sugar free products) should
be avoided by those people who have an inflammatory bowel
disease. Caffeine and alcohol can increase diarrhea and have no
nutritional value. Gas producing foods, such as vegetables in
the cabbage family, dried peas, lentils (beans), onions, chives,
peppers and carbonated drinks can all aggravate symptoms. Over
the counter medications that may cause flare-ups include
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as motrin, and
ibuprofen.
Most doctors and dieticians recommend a daily multi-vitamin that
includes iron to supplement a complete Crohn diet, disease help
is achieved by avoiding inadequate nutrition and anemia.
Supplementation with aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides (AMP) may
also be helpful for the <a target="_new"

to subdue pain and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.
