Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. A friend of mine has Crohn’s disease, and he’s with me half the week, every week. He’s on a very strict diet because of his Crohn’s, and other than looking up recipes for new ideas to cook meals, I was wondering if anyone knew of any snack foods I could also keep at my place when he is here.

A list of food he cannot have:

Corn (this is at the top of the list for a reason, as it is a BIG no-no)
Wheat (this means no bread as well)
Rice
Potatoes
Some milk products—milk (though I can use it to cook with in small quantities) and ice cream
Only a small amount of fruit per day
Only a small amount of nuts per day

As you can see, it is difficult to find anything he can snack on in-between meals, but if anyone has, or knows someone who has Crohn’s, your input would be much appreciated I have asked him what he can and likes to eat but… he hasn’t been as informative as I would like, or more to the point, even he has trouble finding things he can safely eat without any negative side effects. I've even searched online and...that also wasn't nearly as informative as I would like. Can anyone give me some advice?

I have a friend with crohn's disease, she eats soy based stuff, idk if you friend can have soy though, cause like every person is different so are their needs. Also almond milk became her favorite thing. I bet miso soup would be okay actually I found that she eats a lot of ethnic foods, because if you haven't noticed we here in America are based around a lot of bread and corn. Hope this helps.
