Are Raw Food Diets Bad for Crohn's Sufferers

Food poisoning is possible danger for those combating chronic illnesses such as Crohn's Disease. Raw food consumption is about the abundance of nutrients and vitamins and minerals contained in the food. However there is a small risk of live bacteria that is also contained in raw organic foods. If not controlled the bacteria can get into your system causing pain and damage to an already damaged gastrointestinal tract.

Even under the worse case scenario, food poisoning is not fatal. But it can greatly compromise a sub par immune system. It is virtually impossible to to keep bacteria out of raw foods, however there are many ways to mitigate the situation. Cleanliness is the biggest factor in a raw foods kitchen. Everything must be clean and hygienic from your hands, to your utensils, pots, pans and preparation surfaces. Food storage is also very important. You really don't want to eat any food that is older than 3 days anyway. The fresher, the better, so to speak. Proper storage prevents parasites, air and mold from forming or coming in contact. So always inspect your produce before you prepare to eat it.

Toxins grow in the presence of bacteria. If consumed the toxins will make you sick sometimes causing vomiting, diarrhea and pain. Salmonella is a bacteria found in eggs and chicken. Listeria is found in cheese and pate spreads, while e-coli is found in red meats. If you have decided to keep animal products in your raw food diet then you will have to take extra special care of your cutting boards, knives, platters and bowls. Many people, in fact, use different utensils for meat and produce to prevent cross pollination of potential bacterias. Hand washing is a must when handling animal product.

Most who decide to go to a raw food diet completely eliminate animal product because it is also known to contain parasites and worms. Many researchers and experts tell us that 95% of all Western peoples have parasites and worms in their intestines, the result of eating meat, cooked or not. The only real way to avoid the worms, bacteria and parasites is to forgo eating meat cooked or otherwise.

Molds, and yeast are normally harmless. They can sometimes make you sick, but will not cause you to die. These elements are found in mushrooms, cheese, sprouts, seeds, grains and some nuts. As with meat, cooking is no guarantee of avoiding the danger of food poisoning. So what you have to do is make a commitment to wash your hands before, during and after food handling and processing. Buy food product from trusted outlets only. Keep your food refrigerated until you're ready to use it. Some food experts recommend washing all produce in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water to disinfect foods before handling. This solution draws out the pesticides and other chemicals if there are any present. Soaking for about 10 minutes will do the trick.

Eating out presents a special problem for those who suffer Crohn's Disease. Spot check the restaurant before you sit down to the table. Look for signs of cleanliness or a lack thereof. Check the restrooms. If you don't like what you see, hear or smell, then eat elsewhere. You will be glad you did. Taking the time to scout out the place may ultimately prevent a bout of discomforting symptoms and flare ups that can occur if you have the misfortune of eating tainted food.
