Nuts, seeds and corn as well as raw fruits and vegetables (cooked vegetables aren't as much of a problem from what i've heard) are common problem foods for people with crohns. Some people may be affected by some and not others or none at all. My fiance has a problem with beans and corn, but is usually ok with nuts.

I've heard that coconut is very good for IBD. Maybe its the oil from the coconut.

I have problems with coconut. Thankfully I don't like it (perhaps because I had problems the first time I tried it).

The coconut shards are horrible for me because I'm stricturing but the oil is wonderful and incredibly healthy.

Hi there, I can't eat large pieces of coconut, but coconut sugar, oil and milk are ok if I don't overdo it.

nuts, seeds and corn are things to avoid with ibd i heard they tend to get stuck. i don't know about coconut since i learned the hard way i'm allergic to it.

The coconut shards can also be a little sharp going down. There are many varieties and some softer than others. I'd be cautious but crohnies can try it and see if it agrees with them. We are all different.

Most likely it is the texture, not the content
There is a lot of talk about the benefits of coconut oil (and coconut cream is mostly oil too) but it needs to be introduced slowly or it causes mushy poo
