Foods high in roughage are something you want to avoid when you have Crohn's disease. Foods like raw or partly cooked vegetables are harder to digest and can cause blockage where the Crohn's has narrowed the bowel. Seeds, raw foods, nuts etc. are certainly off the diet of a patient with a Crohn's flare up.
