I don’t think correlation = causation in your anecdote. Care to provide some examples of people who were “cured” of Crohns through diet alone?

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.

Curing with diet is very difficult because if your gut microbiome goes too far out of wack then it can be impossible to get it back in balance even with nasty antibiotics.

However, there should be more focus on prevention and healthy eating.
