Nutrition and IBD
People with IBD have a problem - they have higher than normal nutritional requirements because
their intestines are inflamed, and yet they may have malabsorption (particularly a problem with
Crohn's Disease), what they can eat is restricted, and they may have problems eating at all.
If you have IBD, it's very important to pay attention to the nutritional quality of what you eat.
Poptarts may go down well since they have no fiber, but they are not giving your body what it needs
to heal itself. Plus the sugar in the Poptarts may fuel harmful intestinal bacteria, making things worse.
