Status: Allowed
Quinoa is classified as well tolerated for Crohn's Disease based on current dietary assessments. Starchy foods like rice and pasta often form the carbohydrate base of a meal and vary widely in fibre content and glycaemic index. 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: high fiber, minimally processed. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
