Crohn’s Disease

Personalised support with your Crohn’s disease diet

Living with Crohn’s disease can make food feel complicated. During a flare you may struggle to eat enough, and even in remission you might worry about which foods could trigger symptoms. Getting your Crohn’s disease diet right can help you eat with more confidence, maintain your nutrition and feel more in control. This service is for adults with a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease or another form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whether you are newly diagnosed, experiencing flares, in remission or recovering from surgery.

Crohn’s disease is a medical condition that needs ongoing care from a gastroenterologist, and nutrition support works alongside that care, never instead of it. I work with the advice of your gastroenterologist and IBD team, and if you have strictures or have been advised to follow a specific diet, your plan follows those instructions. We focus on keeping you well nourished, adapting your diet to how you are feeling, and using familiar South Asian and Middle Eastern foods, from soft rice dishes and yoghurt to lentil soups and well-cooked vegetables.

What your plan includes

• A review of your diagnosis, symptoms, medications, test results and eating pattern
• Practical eating strategies for flares and for remission
• Guidance on texture and fibre where your medical team has advised it, such as a lower-residue approach
• Support to prevent unintended weight loss and maintain energy and nutrition
• Food-based guidance for nutrients that are often low in Crohn’s, such as iron, B12 and vitamin D, alongside your doctor’s monitoring
• A food and symptom diary to identify personal triggers without unnecessary restriction
• Ongoing WhatsApp support to adjust your plan as symptoms change

What to expect

Your first consultation takes place by video call or WhatsApp. Before it, you complete a short questionnaire and, ideally, a few days of food diary, and share any recent blood tests. We discuss your history, current symptoms and any advice from your medical team, and agree on first steps that suit how you feel right now.

Between sessions, you can message me on WhatsApp if your symptoms change, and we can switch to a gentler eating plan during a flare and build back up as you recover. Follow-ups are usually every two to four weeks, with flexibility if you are in a flare. Crohn’s disease varies widely, so there is no single timeline. The goal is to support your nutrition and comfort over the long term, and progress varies from person to person. Please always contact your doctor about worsening symptoms.

Support is available as a one-month Starter package, a three-month Transform package or a six-month Complete Care package, so you can choose the level of follow-up that suits you. You can compare what each includes on our custom diet plans page, and I am happy to help you decide during your discovery call.

Common questions

Is there a specific diet for Crohn’s disease?

There is no single diet that suits everyone with Crohn’s disease. Your plan depends on your symptoms, the part of your gut affected, whether you are in a flare and your medical team’s advice.

Can diet cure Crohn’s disease?

No. Crohn’s disease is a long-term condition that needs medical treatment from your gastroenterologist. Nutrition support can help you eat well, manage symptoms and maintain your health alongside that treatment.

Do I need to share my medical results?

It is very helpful to share recent blood tests, clinic letters and any dietary advice from your medical team. This helps me make sure your plan fits safely with your treatment.

Is it online only?

Yes, all consultations take place by video call or WhatsApp. This can be especially helpful on days when travelling feels difficult.
