Did you know that 90% of Crohn's patients have problems digesting milk and gluten? So why the fuck does it have a larger part of the food pyramid with bread? Sorry, but this video is no help whatsoever and only explains the basics of the condition. The fact that this video is suggest someone with a digestive condition to eat cereal really proves to me that the maker of the video lacks basic understanding of the condition! Sorry...but the truth hurts!

Major problem found at 3:56. Wheat wreaks havoc on the mucosal lining of the intestines and contains gluten, and is high in phytic acid. Phytates have been clinically shown to inhibit the absorption of dietary minerals like calcium, copper, magnesium, iron, and zinc. So Crohn's disease patients who are eating wheat are doing themselves a major disservice.

I won't even bother getting into dairy, that's a whole new can of worms.

@chrissaboy You are entitled to have an opinion, though the use of language is not called for. The video is for informational purposes only, maybe the person that put the video together does have little understanding of Crohn's Disease.

It is better to use common sense, and further research to understand an illness properly. Go to your family doctor or GP and let them explain if you need a referral to a specialist.

Good vid. But note that the "Layer-drawing" on 2.22 is highly proportional obscure. Muscular layer are far thicker.

I was diagnosed with Chrons a couple of years ago, most of my pain is in my upper left area. sometimes I pass alot of bright red blood which my specialist isn't concerned about, he says I only need to worry if it is dark red and clumpy. I am always tired, I have no appetite. He prescribed vitamin B & D, calcium and fish oil, but I always feel worse after I take them so I stopped. I need to do something cause I need to work. Advice please?

@rwhiteangel Boost? Boost Juice? Don't drink that crap they use reconstituted fruit juice, you need to juice vegetables and fruit yourself to gain any benefit.
