Crohn's Disease and Your Diet

No single eating plan works well for everyone with Crohn’s. But there are certain diet changes that often help with specific issues.

Anti-inflammatory Diet

This diet involves choosing a healthy variety of foods. It focuses on foods that may help reduce chronic (long-lasting) inflammation, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Eating a Controlled-Protein Diet

If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD), too much protein can be harmful. Your healthcare provider may recommend reducing your protein intake.

Limited-Carbohydrate Diet

When you have diabetes, taking charge of what you eat makes it easier to manage your blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy Diet

A healthy diet during pregnancy contains plenty of vitamins, minerals, protein, and water. It also provides the right number of calories to help you and your baby gain the correct amount of weight.

GERD Diet

Diet changes often play a key role in helping manage GERD. You may be able to reduce heartburn by changing what, when, and how much you eat.
