Calamari with Crohn's Disease

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Calamari is classified as conditionally suitable for Crohn's Disease based on current dietary assessments. Meat and fish are important protein sources but differ considerably in fat content and fatty acid profiles. With Crohn's disease in remission, tolerability is generally better than during an active flare. Dietary assessments nonetheless recommend introducing hard-to-digest or gas-producing foods gradually. The reasoning given is: abhängig von Zubereitung (frittiert oder nicht). The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
