Diet can improve symptoms but it is a not a one size fits all illness. Avoid foods that are high in fibre, fried and processed food. No spicy food

I have found that following the Paleo auto-immune diet has been very helpful

Its very important to avoid acidic food. IBD is about inflammation of the gut . Once your GI is alkaline then the inflam reduces. Next is Gluten free and dairy free. Then reduce meat. If you imagine a horribly compromised gut , stricken and bleeding why would you put the hardest to digest material through it, this is madness. There are many more things like a little juicing to removed strain and also fasting to allow repair.

This is very controversial as there is no universal diet which is good for Crohn's and colitis sufferers as each of our bodies react differently to each type of food, I might eat something today and be fine, but if I ate it again in two days time my body may react differently to it. In my 40+ years as a sufferer is is and always has been trial and error with food.

Yes. Most people have a hard time with fruits and veggies. Most crohns people eat fatty foods.

This is also relative, I think that stress damages more than the food. But I think that if we aim to heal the intestinal microbioma with prebioticos and probiotics is a good alternative, which means healthy eating, vegetable, fermented, yoguth of kefir, fruits antioxidants. A kind of FODMAD and paleodieta.

Without a doubt avoiding Gluten is one of the best generic advice that can be given, as well as the goods are very refined, or foods chemically treated. it is also likely to be lactose intolerant.
The fibers and Fats are limited in the diet IBD

In my case there is no restriction, however, each case is different, the patient needs to discover for itself what does or does not evil to his illness.

I do not believe that there is a diet that can cover all the patients of Crohn's/Colitis. But from my experience with the disease, you should avoid to the maximum, fried food, sweets in excess, milk and bread. Nor should we get close to soft drinks or alcoholic beverages.

There are people who stop taking gluten, but it has nothing to do with it. It is recommended not to comee many fried

If of course there is scientific evidence that shows that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids in relation to omega-6 will help to decrease the symptoms of inflammation, but as always it also depends on each person because there are foods that cause discomfort in some patients but not in others and then the patient has to eat what you know you can eat.

Nutritional therapy in the presence of IBD has as its goal the control of symptoms, prevention and correction of malnutrition and various nutritional deficiencies, and reduction of sequelae in the long term, including the growth deficit in children and osteoporosis in adults.

The Active phase of the Disease

In this phase it is important that the power supply to assist in the control of symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, distention, and to prevent or reverse the loss of weight through the use of nutritional supplements suitable. The diet should be high calorie, by the increase of energy requirements as a result of inflammation, hiperprotéica, hipolipídica and normoglicídica with restriction of simple carbohydrates, and foods that cause flatulence. The content of fibers-insoluble and waste (lactose, for example) should be restricted, and the feed should be split in six to eight meals a day, containing little volume.

The Remission stage of the Disease

With the clinical improvement of the patient and the onset of the phase of remission, may be included in the simple carbs such as sucrose (in moderate amount), and lactose (gradually, if no intolerance), you should increase gradually the content of total fiber and insoluble diet, maintaining a moderate content of fat (especially polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-6). Calories should be appropriate to the patient's nutritional status.

Whenever I mention something about what works best for an IBD, I say as I've noticed. But as a result of the years with the disease, I've been cleaved in the subject "nutritional" and I have come to the conclusion that the diet that best goes to me, is the least "last". Soil eating dishes that are easy to digest.
