HEALTHY NUTRITION CAN HELP THOSE WITH CROHN'S DISEASE

Crohn's disease is one of the most common forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease–and it is increasing around the world. More and more attention is being focused on nutrition as both a possible cause and an important part of treatment. 

Those with Crohn's disease (CROHNIES) can suffer with 

• poor absorption of needed nutrients 
• anemia and malnutrition
• weight loss (as many as 25% lose weight)
• diarrhea, intestinal bleeding and pain, worsened by their diets
• decreased growth in children and teens

Nutrition can be an effective tool 

• providing extra protein, calories and nutrients 
• supporting the patient's metabolism
• improving growth 
• helping patients reach remission
• achieving healthful functioning
• maintaining health
