Are there nutrition recommendations that could impact the inflammatory mechanisms of Mr. Page's disease process?
How might these recommendations be different than those aimed at controlling symptoms of his Crohn's disease such as diarrhea, gas, or abdominal pain?
Certain nutrients, such as omega 3 fatty acids, may provide an anti-inflammatory benefit. Furthermore,
increasing fiber and avoiding concentrated sweets and red meat, may promote the growth of beneficial microbiota. These dietary recommendations are consistent with the meal pattern associated with the Mediterranean diet. Very few controlled nutrition studies have examined this effect of diet and Crohn's disease. Consumption of high-fiber foods (e.g. vegetables, fruits, whole-grains) may be problematic due to strictures or during periods of exacerbation. Nutrition recommendations will need to be individualized with consideration of disease process, current symptoms, previous surgeries and response to medications.
