Crohns diet

My son has Crohns and though he doesn't like to admit it, I think soft drinks are really bad for his disease. What do you think about those?

Soft drinks are horrible I always have trouble with them :( the SCD diet had alot of contradicting information. I know they say everyone is different and it's trial an error but it gets so frustrating. I'll let u know how I do on the makers diet.

Soft drinks are probably really bad for Crohn's, but hes going to have to stop it on his own. I've had Crohn's for at least 11 years now and I'm just now getting to the point of actually trying to quit pop/energy drinks. I'm going to miss the buzz.

Thank you all for the comments. Shakencrohns... What is shakeology?

I generally can eat anything about now with no pain or suffering... but notice that soft drinks make me feel terrible along with really sugary food.

I stopped drinking soft drinks too, I drink mainly water or flavored water. My GI dr told me that the aspertame in a lot of soft drinks can cause digestive problems.

My husband bought a Soda Stream recently where you can make your own "soda" at home. It does not contain aspertame and the sugars are from Stevia, which is a natural sugar with zero calories. I have found I can drink these in moderation without any trouble.

As for diet, I eat a high protein diet with chicken, fish & turkey. I also eat a lot of sushi/sashimi. I very rarely eat red meat anymore as it seems to bother me. I luckily can eat dairy, but again, in moderation. I can eat cous cous, green beans, edamame, peas, squash and zucchini, and cucumbers. I love eating fruit too, blueberries, watermelon, strawberries and pineapple seem best!
No popcorn, salad, alcohol, majorly high in fiber veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) and absolutely nothing fried ever.

When I'm hurting, I stick to chicken soup broth and saltines. I sometimes drink ensure just to maintain calorie intake so I don't lose too much weight.
