    The CCFA sure hates this site don't they?

    I'm not a big fan of the CCFA for various reasons. But today really set me over the edge. My homepage is set to google so to come to this site I am lazy and google search for [Crohns Forum] which always brings me here as it's the first result. I guess the CCFA doesn't like that because it...

    Ideal diet for Crohns

    My gastroenterologist tells me that diet doesn't matter when it comes to Crohn's Disease. However, I don't believe this and it is weird to me that a doctor would. I don't know much about diet though. Can anyone tell me what the ideal diet for Crohns is? I'm game to try anything, I'm so sick...
