Avoid these foods with Crohn's disease. The following foods promote inflammation and should be avoided with Crohn's disease: Sugar: Eating sugar, and particularly fructose. Fructose combined with glucose in a molecule is what we call table sugar. Avoid added sugar as much as possible. Sugar also causes inflammatory reactions in the body, resulting in reduced serotonin release. Bad fats: Bad fats cause inflammatory reactions in the body, and through inflammatory factors, this leads to a reduction in the release of serotonin and BDNF. The bad fats are typically plant-based omega-6 fats used for cooking, such as sunflower, soy, and peanut oil. Hydrogenated (vegetable) fats are also bad fats. Dairy: High intake of dairy can also promote inflammation. It is best to avoid consuming sweetened or unacidified dairy products. Unsweetened kefir or yogurt can, however, be eaten in moderation. Gluten: Eat as few grain-based products as possible. Gluten can also cause inflammation, especially in the case of allergic reactions. Oats, and therefore oatmeal, can be eaten. Alcohol: Alcohol is fermented sugar and is best avoided entirely. If alcohol is consumed, half to a full glass of wine per day can be drunk without causing too much harm. Above that amount, alcohol becomes an inflammation promoter. Meat: Wild, grass-fed meat, and wild fish are not a problem provided red meat is consumed in moderation (the advice is a maximum of 2 times per week). Any fish that is not wild-caught or has been fed in a manner other than natural is best avoided. Grain- and corn-fed animal products are also discouraged.

Avoid these foods in Crohn's disease

The following foods are pro-inflammatory and should be avoided in Crohn's disease:

Sugar: Eating sugar and particularly fructose. Fructose together with glucose in one molecule is what we call table sugar. Avoid added sugar as much as possible. Also, sugar causes inflammatory responses in the body which reduces the release of serotonin.

Bad fats: Bad fats trigger inflammatory responses in the body, which, via inflammatory factors, lowers the release of serotonin and BDNF. The bad fats are usually plant-based omega 6 fats used for frying such as sunflower, soybean and peanut oil. Hardened (vegetable) fats are also bad fats.

Dairy: Dairy can also promote inflammation at high intakes. It is best not to consume sweetened or unleavened dairy products. So unsweetened kefir or yoghurt can be eaten in moderation.

Gluten: Eat as few grain-based products as possible. Gluten can also cause inflammation, especially in allergic reactions. Oats, and therefore oatmeal, can be eaten though.

Alcohol: Alcohol is fermented sugar and is best avoided altogether. If alcohol is drunk anyway, half to a whole glass of wine a day can be consumed without too much harm. Above that, alcohol already becomes an inflammation promoter.

Meat: Game, grass-fed meat and wild fish are no problem provided red meat is eaten in a limited way (advice is max 2 times a week). Any fish that has not been wild-caught or fed other than natural is best not eaten. Grain- and corn-fed animal products are also not recommended.
