Diet Tips To Prevent Crohn's Flare-Ups

Change Dairy Habits

Ladies, you need to change your dairy habits. Many of you who have Crohn's are also lactose intolerant. Your body can't process lactose well. It won't break it down right! Ladies, lactose is in most dairy products. You'll have to limit how much dairy you eat. Otherwise? You're facing Crohn's flares and lactose intolerance symptoms like excessive gas, diarrhea, and pain in your abdomen. Actually, not digesting dairy properly can trigger Crohn's to develop in the first place! Dairy products are also high in fat. This isn't easy on your digestion!

Ladies, eat low-fat dairy instead. This means skim milk and low-fat cheese! If you can't have dairy, reach for an alternative! Popular ones for milk and cheese are made from soy, almonds, cashews, and even oat and rice!

Eat Lean Meat

Ladies, you need protein. Crohn's, though, means you have to pick your protein carefully! You can't eat lots of red meat or sausages. They're very high in fat, so that means your body is going to have problems digesting these meats! So instead, you have to eat lean meat! That means white meat in chicken and turkey. Fish and shellfish are good too! If you want something like red meat, try small portions of pork tenderloin every so often. All of these are great sources of protein. They just don't have lots of fat! Thus, your body will break them down much easier. No major Crohn's flares are in your future this way!
