Overview

With Crohn's disease, what works on a good day can be hard during a flare. This printable sorts foods into three columns: a varied diet for when you're well, gentler choices many people use in a flare, and foods that are often harder to handle.

The second page explains what the NIDDK and IBD charities say, which foods to ask about if you have a stricture and simple flare habits. Plan with the grocery list and meal ideas, and bring the flare log to your appointments.

  • Well and flare

    Separate columns for remission and flares.

  • Stricture tips

    Skins, seeds, nuts and tough meat to ask about.

  • Grocery list

    Pre-filled and blank.

  • Flare log

    Meals, bathroom trips and pain.

Questions

What should I eat with Crohn's disease?

When you're well, a varied diet with vegetables, fruit, whole grains, fish, eggs and lean meat. In a flare, many people find well-cooked peeled vegetables, ripe bananas, white rice, eggs and soups easier.

Is there a special diet that cures it?

No. The NIDDK says no specific food has been shown to cause or worsen it, and no single diet works for everyone.

What foods are harder to handle in a flare?

Greasy and fried foods, processed meats, very sugary or salty foods and alcohol, and for some people beans, cabbage, broccoli, caffeine and fizzy drinks.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. Import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or any PDF app. The index and section tabs are clickable, so you can tap to jump between sections.

Will I get a printed copy in the mail?

No. It's a digital download. You print the pages yourself at home or at a print shop, or use them on a tablet.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
