One simple Crohn’s diet change

  • dextrose
  • fructose

    Hi,

    Whilst I am always on the lookout for tips and tricks to help with the effects / symptoms of Crohns. A post like this leaves me wondering why?

    Do you have any reasoning as to why I should avoid sugar and all its variants?

    Great looking blog though, very nice.

    Patrick-

    I suggest taking a look at the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for an explanation – really good information to be found there.

    Good luck!
