Eating Through Strictures with Crohn's | Health and Fitness News

Struggling with Crohn’s strictures? You don’t need to eliminate entire food groups—just tweak texture. Go for soft, fork-tender veggies, pureed soups, and peeled, cooked fruits to ease digestion and reduce blockage risk. Fiber’s usually a good thing, but during flare-ups or post-surgery, a low-fiber diet may help. Work with a specialist dietitian to find your ideal balance. Eat smaller, more frequent meals, chew thoroughly, stay hydrated, and walk after eating. And if you feel severe pain, nausea, or can’t pass gas or stool—seek emergency care.
