So if you have batch of a thousand people each going from one fad diet to the next you'd get around 100 of them telling you very loudly that whatever flavour of the month cured them. The 900 who didn't just move to the next fad.

I don't have Crohn's. She doesn't have Crohn's. There's research ongoing into the genetics of Crohn's.

Changing diet can help ameliorate the symptoms, but it won't cure it any better than "taking the air" in Switzerland will cure asthma. And stating so boldly that a "wrong diet" causes it? Just to reiterate, of five kids raised on the same diet, (me, my 2 half-brothers, my 2 step-siblings) two have it, three don't.

But sure, just eat some raw meat or drink some vegan juice, problem solved... ...are you actually fucking serious mate?

You obviously know nothing about Crohn's and your glib handwavey internet opinion of "Duh, just eat some meat and roots" is, well, so goddamn dumb and shallow it's actually offensive.

Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

I have had Crohns for nearly four years with it in remission for the last two years. Diet and other lifestyle changes did slightly improve symptoms, but the only things that have yielded profound change were Inflectra and prednisone.

I think for those who have Crohns bad enough where they’re facing surgeries or being on a biologic for quite some time, diet alone isn’t going to fix the damage inflammation has already done.
