How NutriPlan optimises for Crohn's Disease
Anti-inflammatory base
Omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenol-rich foods and a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern reduce intestinal inflammation. Processed foods, refined sugars and saturated fats are minimised.
Easy-to-digest foods during flares
During active Crohn's flares, low-residue, low-fibre foods reduce bowel irritation. Cooked vegetables, well-cooked grains and lean protein are prioritised over raw, fibrous foods.
Protein for gut repair
Crohn's often causes protein malabsorption and increases protein requirements. Plans prioritise high-quality, easily absorbed protein: eggs, fish, chicken, tofu.
Microbiome support
A diverse gut microbiome is protective in IBD. Fermented foods (yoghurt, kefir, miso) and prebiotic foods are included where tolerated, adapted to your symptom phase.

Frequently asked questions
Should I avoid dairy with Crohn's?+
Secondary lactose intolerance is common in Crohn's due to small bowel inflammation. If dairy worsens symptoms, lactose-free options or plant-based alternatives are substituted. Many Crohn's patients tolerate hard cheeses and yoghurt well.
Is a high-fibre diet good or bad for Crohn's?+
It depends on your phase. During remission, soluble fibre (oats, bananas, cooked veg) is beneficial for the microbiome. During flares, low-residue (low insoluble fibre) is better. Our plans adapt based on your current phase.
Can I use this alongside an exclusion diet like SCD or IBD-AID?+
Yes. If you're following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet or IBD Anti-Inflammatory Diet, you can apply those restrictions in your NutriPlan profile preferences. Our filters support gluten-free, dairy-free and grain-free variations.
