Patient's question:
My aunt has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. She dislikes eating watermelon, and I am very concerned. Hello, can people with Crohn's disease eat watermelon?Doctor's answer:
Changbai syndrome is primarily a vasculitic inflammatory disease, but it mainly manifests as the accumulation of complement system and complement system-prone ulcers, leading to recurrent symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea with mucus and blood in patients. In terms of diet, it is recommended that patients consume more soft and easily digestible foods, avoid overly spicy foods, and when it comes to watermelon, patients can eat a small amount sparingly but should not overconsume it, as this may exacerbate the aforementioned symptoms.
