Goat Cheese with Crohn's Disease

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Goat Cheese is classified as conditionally suitable for Crohn's Disease based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. 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: laktosehaltig, individuell unterschiedlich verträglich. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
