I have an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis?

Absolutely. When the disease isn’t flaring up, you can follow a plant-based diet without any particular restrictions. Its reduced saturated fat content and high intake of anti-inflammatory substances have been shown to successfully delay the time between flare-ups. You can even follow a plant-based diet during flare-ups (for example, tofu, soy milk and soy yogurt are fibre-free, just like animal-based foods), provided that it’s a low-residue diet. Talk to your doctor and, if you still have any concerns, feel free to contact our nutritionists on the chat.
