- This is my Crohns disease diet. With Crohns disease, there are lot's of different foods that you may or not be able to handle. In this video I will be sharing what food choices work and don't work for me, to hopefully give you some guidance on what you could look into. These are just my own experiences, so what works for me might not work for you, so be careful. I will also be talking about drink choices, as they are a massive factor in the modern diet. Crohns disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines, especially the colon and ileum, associated with ulcers and fistulae - according to the Oxford dictionary. I hope this video is useful to you if you have Crohns disease, or maybe you know someone who has Crohns disease and you want to know a little more about it.

I love the light behind ur couch. I used to put lights behind my tv bc of light sensitivity.
Hahha thank you!! Trying to get some ambience going :)
I'd say you highlighted the information beautifully. It's definitely a trial-error self-experimentations. I am a clinical dietitian suffering from Crohn's disease for more than 5 years now. I'm also a clinical psychologist, and an MD student in my 3rd year. I have dedicated my time and passion to learn more and hopefully help myself and others when it comes to disease management. It's not an easy journey, and having support and an open optimistic mindset definitely helps. Thank you for the wonderful video
Hey Fatima, I’m glad you enjoyed this video and thank you so much for the kind comment. Your background is truly impressive and I’m sure it’s back a big difference in your journey as you must have a lot of knowledge on the body!
I’ve just come out of hospital and been diagnosed with crohns. Thankyou soooo much..I’m gf and df and don’t eat meat (apart from fish) and so now I’ve learnt even more thanks to you. I’ve had bad flares ever since childhood and was never diagnosed with anything . I’m now 52 and excited about getting healthier. I’ll defo keep watching your vids ❤️
That’s so great to hear that these videos helped! Really wishing you the best on your journey ahead, glad that you’re finally getting the help you need. Hope you enjoy what’s to come :)
Dairy and soy are difficult to digest for many and are a major allergens.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's in late January. I know that some foods are harder on me than others. I've asked for help from a nutritionist, but that hasn't come yet. I'm still stumbling, but the mention of undigested foods hit home. Before I was diagnosed, I was living on sushi and raw veggies. I crave so many of the foods that you've described as no go. I'll have to change my diet.
I'm learning that some food advice I've been getting from non-Crohn's friends is armful. Fibre made me feel worse.
Exactly! Best to find exactly what works for you and get advice from people who have lived through it...non-crohns friends will never understand (and its not their fault per se) so best to just ignore them
Very helpful for us.. thanks. 😊
No problem :))
Processed foods are high in soy derivatives, which is a major allergen. Curry chicken has dairy normally and regular beans are diffcult to digest because they are not a complete protein. Need to eat beans with bread or rice to make them more easy to digest. Pita breads often are allergy friendly. Seeds and nuts that have been roasted in store are often roasted with hydrogenated oils which contain mono and diglcyerides to preserve the oil and keep it shelf stable. Soda is not great for your digestive system because of the acid. Bottled spice blends used to cook often contain soy preservatives. Better to mix your own.
This is a great comment thank you! You’re spot on with all of this - thank you for sharing :)
My test are showing nothing but my doctor saying i have chron or tubercolisis i have a stricture at my ileum
Egg's are good for ulcerative colitis i know its not crohns but similar.
Near enough anything natural cottage cheese, steak, fish, chicken
I was diagnosed with Crohn's 30 years ago so I definitely stay away from processed foods, fast food, cheese, milk, caffeine, carbonated water and sugar. I have always read online to stay away from anything spicy, but the funny thing is that Frank's hot sauce and mustard doesn't bother me at all. I tried the carnivore diet when I discovered CZcams's Dr. Ken Berry back in March. In one of his video's he mentioned that he had a lot of subscribers with Crohn's that did well on it. I liked it because I love meat and most mornings I would have steak and shrimp with eggs, but unfortunately after about a months, I had to get off of it because it was really starting to cause problems within 30 minutes of eating. I will still eat a ribeye steak occasionally but when I do, I will only eat a small 4 oz piece. The only dairy that I consume daily is just 1/2 cup of plain whole fat Greek yogurt that I will put in a strawberry protein smoothie or a citrus green protein smoothie. I found their recipes on a channel on CZcams, as a healthy meal replacement option. I have the strawberry smoothie for breakfast and then the green smoothie for dinner if I don't have air fried chicken with non starchy vegetables or homemade turkey chili. I tried eating eggs with tomatoes and avocado every morning for breakfast, but I just can't stand the taste of eggs no matter what I added to them. I don't mind occasional deviled eggs but I can't eat them all of the time.
That’s great advice! Your diet sounds very solid and sounds like you’ve tested a lot. I really want to try the carnivore diet too!
Hello. Is it normal what im drinkin coffee and eatin a lot of processed food, literally i dont have any restrictions at all and i dont feel any SEVERE pain or something? I feel pain sometimes but i think its more than bearable. Im on Ozanimod, prednislone(will end its course in 5 days(very happy about that!) and Pentasa. Thanx for sharing!
Hey! Sadly, the prednisone is so effective that it’s probably keeping you all together. Once you come off I would take more care with diet :)
@@benjaymun oh, thank you. Sounds realistic.
Yea, i thought about Prednisolone in that way.
My doctor also said i have a bit of improvements on a small segment, maybe that's Ozanimod
Glad to hear it :)
When you eat beans you get a lot of shells in your output I like potato chips but they kinda stir things up for me they make my output watery luse
Yes me too! I try and avoid them :)
I noticed you are consuming emulsifiers and quite a lot of saturated fat. Have you checked the studies on their effect on crohn's? Pretty scary stuff. And what about the amount of vegetables? I'm pretty proud of my 0.5kg of veg per day (peeled and cooked). It works wonders for my gut.
Yes are right! This video is a few years old so I wasn’t very across all that when I was 21. These days I’m far more conscious especially with sweeteners. Oooh that’s good! What kinda veggies do you have?
@@benjaymun That's good that you are even better with the diet! My (cooked only) vegetables include: cauly flower, carrots, (sometimes) broccoli, zuccini, spinach, sweet potato (is that a veg?), beet root and some others i think. I kind of just either put 1-2 types in with the rice and cook them together, or air-fry them (delicious!).
I'm diagnosed only a month ago (still in the flare) and on prednisone, they'll start me on infliximab soonish so hopefully by then I can have a more varied diet. I tried lentils but damn... never having lentils during a flare again hahahah
Woah that’s really healthy, great stuff!! I would definitely keep that up, so good for the. Body. For real haha lentils as nice as they are, can be very irritating sadly so defs avoid them! Hopefully once your on Infliximab things will get easier for you :)
Brother. I have IBD and epilepsy from my childhood. I have body weight of 40 kg and my age is 30.
So sorry to hear that!
Same me
What do u think of organic everything? Organic coconut water and coffee etc?
Ah honestly I’m not too concerned tbh. Of course it’s better to eat organic, but at the end of the day I just try to eat as best as I can. And organic food is soo expensive sadly
I have Crohn’s but hardly go to the restroom and but what’s bothering me constantly is trapped gas. It’s very painful. Do you know how to get rid of it?
I know the feeling! I can't really remember how I got rid of this feeling, it's possible maybe more fibre would allow you to go to the toilet more?
Could try wind tablets.
Any one have intestinal tubercolisis plzz share there symptoms with me
Meat eggs and bananas are great for me 👍
That’s good to hear! So interesting how foods impact us all differently
have you tried the fodmap?
I have not - maybe some day!
Yeah mentioned chia seeds. How bout hemp seeds?
Haven’t ever tried them, but imagine it would be the same sadly - they’re very good for you otherwise tho!
I’ve been doing chia hemp and flax but are body’s are all different I’d get really bloated I would put them in with oats and milk…
My name is Katie I have crohns and ibs too..
Sorry to hear that!
And from which test you are diagnosed
Colonoscopy :)
I dont know if i have it, but i do have symptoms of it.
Sugars = Bad
Cakes, Ice creams, cookies, sodas, etc desserts make it worse.
Whole beans, rice, veggies, fruits, remove my symptoms. Smoothie oatmeal, chia seeds. Cheese is fine, cheese powder is not... Weird
It could be possible that you might have an insensitivity to gluten or lactose!
@@benjaymun no because sour cream and milk don't have effect on me.
And I eat lots of gluten doesn't do anything.
ahh i see! keep doing tests and write down exactly what gives you problems and then go from there
What about tea
Always been fine for me :)
Do caffeine free. I’m allergic to nickel so the herbs typically have nickel and detox me.
You didn't lose hair? 😯
Not really! But I think I’m balding anyways hahah
