Granola Bar with Crohn's Disease

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Granola Bar is classified as conditionally suitable for Crohn's Disease based on current dietary assessments. Sweets generally contain high amounts of sugar and saturated fats and are therefore included only sparingly in most dietary concepts. 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: moderately processed, may be high in sugar depending on product. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
