How will my diet influence my Crohns condition?
Diet is an integral component of standardized treatments for Crohn’s disease. Proper nutritional guidelines are important for maintaining and correcting any nutrient deficiencies, and are a welcome addition to any add-on medical therapies. Diet is not only a primary treatment used to decrease disease activity short-term, but should also be implemented on the premise of long-term intervention. In addition, diet can aid in reversing growth-failure in both children and young adults suffering from this condition.
