Foods Associated with Higher Risk for Symptoms
Exclusion Diets. Exclusion diets are those that eliminate certain allergenic foods or those that might irritate the intestine. To determine these foods, patients use a so-called elimination/challenge approach. First they remove all suspect foods from their diet for two weeks and then reintroduce one food every three days. Patients then watch for any symptoms that might indicate an allergic or irritant response, including gastrointestinal problems, headaches, and flushing. Some experts believe, however, that this approach is very difficult and studies are weak in confirming its value for maintaining remission.

Typical avoidance foods are as follows:

Saturated fats, found in meat and dairy products. (It should be noted that certain fats, such as those found in fish oil, may be helpful.)

Milk products. Some people with IBD are lactose intolerant (unable to digest the Sugar lactose, found in milk products). Taking lactase tablets or specially prepared dairy products may help. (Many lactose-intolerant patients are still able to eat yogurt with active cultures, which may even be helpful for IBD.)

Foods associated with inflammation (alcohol, simple sugars, and caffeine).

Fruits may be protective, but patients should avoid dried fruits or high-sugar fruits, such as grapes, watermelon, or pineapple.

Products containing corn or gluten (those made from wheat, oats, barley, or triticale).

Common allergenic foods, such as soy, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes.

Foods that may irritate the intestine, particularly so-called Brassica vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale).
Oxalate-rich Foods. Oxalate-rich foods may increase the risk for kidney stones, which is a common complication in IBD. Examples are beets, beet tops, black tea, chenopodium, chocolate, cocoa, dried figs, ground pepper, lamb quarters, lime peel, nuts, parsley, poppy seeds, purslane, rhubarb, sorrel, spinach, and Swiss chard.
