A member asked:

What foods can negatively affect crohn's disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not an easy answer!: Different foods affect different people with crohn's disease. Certain food groups such as dairy and fish may be worse in some people. There is data that suggests a special diet, known as the specific carbohydrate diet may be beneficial in alleviating a lot of the cramps and abdominal pain associated with crohn's disease.
