How many coconut macaroons do you eat with crohns?
If that is what you crave during a flare up and you can tolerate them go ahead and indulge. Many patients get “cravings” for certain foods and many doctors feel it is the bodies way of getting what it needs during a crisis. The high sugar content and high fat of the coconut is most likely what you need. Many Crohn’s patients report an urge for “cornflakes”. They are easily digested and unlikely to cause blockage. As far as how many, go slow, see what you can tolerate. With active crohn’s disease small easily digested meals are best rather than eating too much at one sitting or in this case one snacking.
