Sriracha with Crohn's Disease

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Sriracha is classified as conditionally suitable for Crohn's Disease based on current dietary assessments. Dips and sauces vary greatly in composition – from high in salt to high in fat – and can affect the overall nutritional quality of a meal. 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: individuell unterschiedlich verträglich in der Remissionsphase. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
