Hmmm confused😐

Does certain foods really cause crohns to result in bowel resection and strictures, inflamation ?

It does cause me to feel sick sometimes. Like meat. I always feel sick after barbecuing. But I'm not sure about it causing an actual inflammation.

Seems like it would have to build up over a period of time.

Food doesn't really cause the problems in Crohn's, but food certainly can exacerbate any existing issues. If you have a stricture, certain foods can cause a blockage, and if you have existing inflammation, certain foods can cause it to feel worse.

Thank u guys that's what I was thinking it doesn't actually cause the crohns but can make symptoms worse

I don't think food causes Crohn's per se. However, I know there are some food additives that do cause inflammation for me. One in particular is Carrageenan. I have talked with others who are sensitive to carrageenan, however I know other Crohn's patients who have no problem eating this additive.

The longer you have inflammation the more damage to the bowel
the bigger the chance of a stricture etc.

For me spices play a large roll in my CD.
