I know there are a lot of people here who are delving deeper and deeper into the nutritional science of Crohn's disease. Let's apply that knowledge. Let's create a juice recipe specific for Crohn's disease based upon reputable information.
Types of Recipes
There will likely need to be different types of recipes based upon a variety of variables. Macro variables include location of the disease such as ileitis, ileocolitis, colitis, etc. Additional variables might include disease state such remission/active flare, strictures (inflammatory/fibrotic), fistula, perianal disease, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Further variables may include medication(s) they're on. Obviously there are many more variables but let's start simple (lol).
We'll start with Crohn's Ileocolitis, no abscess, no fistula, no strictures, diarrhea 1-5x per day, and no prednisone. We will begin by listing ingredients desire for inclusion or exclusion, the reason, and reference supporting that reasoning. We'll determine what foods will allow us to obtain the desired ingredients at a later time.
Submissions and References
We need to keep this efficient and utilize reputable sources for references. To submit an ingredient for debate for submission or exclusion, please copy and paste the following:
Ingredient: Magnesium
Inclusion/Exclusion: Inclusion
Reasoning: An essential element. Utilized in over 300 metabolic reactions in the body.[1]
Supporting Reference(s): [1]http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/magnesium/
Quantity per day: At least 600mg
Reasoning for quantity: The RDA for magnesium varies by sex and age with the average for all adults being 362mg per day.[1] Magnesium is absorbed primarily in the terminal ileum and our recipe is for someone with active inflammation in the small intestine.[2] No adverse affects have been reported from food based magnesium, only supplements.[1] Magnesium deficiency is common due to western diets and inflammation of the small intestine and diarrhea can lead to deficiency.[1] This source recommends an intake in deficient patients of 600mg daily.[3]

Anyone interested? Kiny - Gianni - mf15 - anyone at all wanna help out?
I will edit agreed upon ingredients into this first post. The magnesium entry is up for peer review as well.
