what foods should you avoid if you have chrons disease?

Question:

Answers:
Basically, it sounds as if spicy foods and dairy are the big ones to watch out for. According to www.ccfa.org:

"When Crohn's disease is active, soft, bland foods may cause less discomfort than spicy or high-fiber foods. Except for restricting milk in lactose-intolerant patients, most gastroenterologists try to be flexible in planning the diets of their Crohn's patients. A healthy diet should contain a variety of foods from all food groups. Meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products (if tolerated) are sources of protein; bread, cereal, starches, fruits, and vegetables are sources of carbohydrate; margarine and oils are sources of fat."

Other Answers:
a lot of fried foods and foods with seeds
