Cereal grains good for crohn's?

[shalinico]

Anyone tried to include cereal grains like oats, quinoa and other millets in ur diet.....just wondering if we can include these as they r more nutritious than rice

I don't do grains well, but others might say different. With many of us different diets suit different people. good luck though.

There seems to be a lot of disagreement on whether fibre is good or bad. I use a low-residue diet with great success, which in part means no whole grains, no seeds.

I don't do good with grains either. I have been eating corn chex, sometimes the rice chex. I have to add protein powder or peanut butter to the cereal for protein, otherwise I get sick from just eating only empty carbs. Otherwise I just do a protein shake.

Quinoa isn't really a "grain" in the sense of a cereal. It is more closely related to all the beets; it's a member of the Chenopodioideae family. It is also gluten free.

Many people who have trouble with grains can tolerate quinoa. It also produces excellent oil.

I think soluble fibre is good, but insoluble is bad as a rule of thumb. Im fine with oats and love porridge for breakfast

I do quinoa and gluten free oats acouple times a week and when I do it eat I eat alot of it like around 1000 calories worth, haven't had issues. Maybe try a alittle bit of it and see how you react with it.

i eat one cup dry oats daily, as cooked oatmeal.

it contains melatonin in decent levels which is good for the gut, and the entire body.

i typically have issues with barley corn and rice.

wheat oats and properly cooked refried beans, are well tolerated for my crohns.
