Foods don't cause Crohn's, but some can worsen your symptoms, especially during flares. Common triggers include high-fiber foods, fried items, and spicy dishes. Write down the ones that seem to bother you, and then avoid them. During a flare, you may feel better if you try soft, bland foods and eat small meals during the day.

That's why Crohn's is known as a chronic (or recurring) disease.
