I am inquiring for a friend. She has flare ups with crohns and was asking me if keto would help. I don’t want to tell her wrong. Thanks!

I have Crohn’s Disease (although not nearly as bad as it seems that most people have it). I was incredibly worried about going on a ketogenic diet at first because at the time I couldn’t eat green leafy vegetables or really any raw vegetables at all without having all sorts of intestinal problems.

Once I kicked the carbs to the curb, I’ve started adding in more of the green leafy vegetables, and raw vegetables and haven’t had nearly the reaction I used to get. It’s been mentioned on the boards that ketogenic is far safer from a infllamation standpoint which would likely be higher in a person with crohn’s. I’ve felt way better all around on the ketogenic diet than I did w/ Crohns while eating “normally”.
