Absolutely, following guidelines for multiple conditions can certainly be challenging. What initially sticks out to me as commonalities with these conditions is that they could all benefit from a low-inflammatory approach. Focusing on foods that will keep your Crohn’s flares to a minimum will help you absorb nutrients and keep inflammation down. Lower inflammation also helps CKD. Plant based proteins as well as fruits and vegetables will be less inflammatory than meat based foods and processed foods.
I have CKD (stage 4) and Crohn’s and an ileostomy. I am often confused as to what diet to follow. Suggestions?
