Practice Question
Which of the following is NOT commonly recommended for patients with Crohn's disease during a flare-up?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
High Folic Acid Vegetables
Rationale:
🥦 During a Crohn’s disease flare-up, a low-residue (low-fiber) diet is recommended to reduce bowel stimulation and minimize cramping and diarrhea.
🥦 High-folic-acid vegetables—often high in fiber, such as leafy greens and legumes—can irritate the inflamed intestinal mucosa, worsening symptoms during a flare.
🥦 Corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and suppress the overactive immune response that drives Crohn’s disease.
🥦 After remission, patients may gradually reintroduce high-fiber and nutrient-rich foods to maintain nutritional balance under medical supervision.
