Foods to Eat During a Crohn’s Disease Flare

Besides a high water intake (3-4L daily), here are some foods to help you through a flare. I normally stick to these foods 80% of the time, even when not in a flare.

Foods I eat during a flare:

• Soups (dairy-free) such as organic tomato soup (which are often dairy free)
• White rice (avoid whole grain)
• White bread (avoid whole grain)
• Eggs (or egg whites)
• Salmon or any kind of fish
• Bananas
• Porridge
• Cream of Rice
• Applesauce
• Cooked carrots
• Potatoes

Foods I eat during a serious flare:

• Broths
• Gatorade
• Tea (ginger with turmeric, green, etc)
• Jell-O

Foods I won’t eat during a flare by some others do:

• Creamed soups
• Ensure
• Ginger ale
• Kefir
