(HealthDay News) -- People with Crohn's disease -- a type of inflammatory bowel -- are prone to being malnourished.
The University of Maryland Medical Center offers these suggestions to help people with Crohn's better manage their diet:
Snack throughout the day on small amounts of food, rather than eating big meals.
Drink plenty of water.
Stay away from spicy foods, and stick to bland, softer offerings.
Steer clear of foods that are high in fiber, such as popcorn, seeds, beans, nuts and bran.
Don't eat foods that are greasy or fried, and avoid heavy and fattening sauces that contain cream, butter or margarine.
Restrict milk and dairy products if you are lactose intolerant.
Limit caffeine and alcohol.
