I have ibd. what is diet?

Normal diet: Inflammatory bowel disease is an autoimmune disorder. While we do not know the cause it can present in many different ways. One way is to attack the gut, which is a large source of immune responses. A sensible normal diet is important for anyone. Take your medications regularly, avoid stress, and exercise.

Not much: There's limit data on foods that definitely help/hurt crohn's. Avoid things that don't digest well (seeds, nuts, popcorn kernels) b/c these foods can get stuck in and obstruct a narrow area of bowel. Please avoid nicotine as well. There is evidence to support a low carbohydrate diet called "the specific carbohydrate diet". Best to discuss this with your GI because the diet is hard to do!
