Crohn’s disease: follow the meal, the gut and the rest of the day
Crohn’s disease · Food, normal function and supported decisions
Crohn’s disease can make an ordinary meal part of a much larger question: what is happening in the gut, and what support makes the rest of the day possible? It is inflammatory bowel disease, not a verdict on someone’s character or food choices. Inflammation can occur anywhere along the digestive tract; its location matters. [CD-DEF]
