Stevia with Crohn's Disease

Status: Allowed

Stevia is classified as well tolerated 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: no laxative effect, neutral. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
