Children with Crohn's often experience digestive issues, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, so it's crucial to provide meals that are gentle on the stomach while ensuring balanced nutrition.
To help you reduce the stress of planning meals, I've prepared a Wednesday meal plan that is easy to digest and nutritionally balanced.
