Can a liquid diet help me control Crohn’s disease symptoms?
Some research suggests that liquid diets might help people with certain health conditions, and there is evidence that people with Crohn’s disease may benefit from a high-calorie liquid diet. By giving the intestines a much needed rest, the liquid diet can help suppress symptoms of Crohn’s disease. In addition, the liquid diet or special high-calorie liquid formulas can help people with Crohn’s who need extra nutrition short-term or those whose intestines cannot absorb proper nutrition from whole foods. Some people with Crohn’s disease enjoy supplements such as Ensure Plus or Boost Plus when they need a boost in calories and nutrients.
