Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During an exacerbation of Crohn's disease, it's important to consume easily digestible foods that are high in protein and low in fat to help with healing and to reduce intestinal workload. High fiber and foods high in oxalates can exacerbate symptoms and are not recommended during flare-ups. Omega-3 fatty acids may have anti-inflammatory benefits, but the primary dietary change recommended during an exacerbation focuses on protein and fat content.
