Can you share where you came by this information? I've got a relative with Crohn's.

man, i'm not a doctor, and i dealt only with smaller issue - candida overgrowth - and thus it may be related, if there is any relation at all (again i'm not a doctor), only as long as candida is related to Crohn's. So take it as a personal anonymous anecdote you read on Internet :) For candida overgrowth for me there were 2 parts - dietary changes and antifungals. Dietary changes. While being a heavy consumer of breads and pastries, i stopped eating white bread and similar yeast and sugar rich stuff from the stores. Found a good Russian and German bread instead, and sometimes enjoy their pastries. And whole wheat bagels. Gives me that carbohydrate fix. Several years ago, for moral reasons, i stopped eating pork, lamb and beef, and accidentally it helped too as the US beef seems to be a stuff that candida likes, at least it was liking it in my case. And also i did a bunch of other small changes in those general directions, increasing greens/veggies consumption and in general similar to what the other poster says about "good" and "bad" foods/drinks (except for coffee, still drink it though it is more neutral than "good" or may be even a bit toward "bad" for me). Also based on my experience, in particular with letting go of heavy meats and eating more greens/veggies, i believe the other guy who mentioned veganism though myself i haven't been able to make such big of jump. Antifungals. I didn't went medical antifungals as they are heavy on liver and the reported results from various Internet accounts aren't better than natural antifungals. There are a lot of natural antifungals, and it is more about what works for you personally. I tried apple cider vinegar, garlic, virgin coconut oil, ginger. All of them work to a good degree, initially better, after some time the fungi seems to adapt somewhat. The mix of those natural antifungals seems to work the best. I didn't really liked the coconut oil. So i ended up with daily regiment of double dose of garlic pills (i like the real garlic, yet the smell is an issue at home and work), several cups of ginger tea during the day at work, and 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar 2 times a day (of course diluted in a cup of water or just used as a dressing for a large cucumber/tomato/greens/etc. salad. Also that dose is a result of my personal experience, i started with 1 or 2 table spoons per cup of water 3-4 times a day, it worked for me, yet dosing down and adding ginger and garlic instead worked even better, and one would want to be easy on vinegar). Frequently instead of the diluted vinegar i drink Kevita - apple juice with the apple cider vinegar with ginger with probiotic - works better than the equivalent volume of diluted vinegar alone, in particular because probiotic is extremely important in dealing with candida. One of the main things that i learned - it took me couple of months to work out the regiment once i set out on fixing the issue - is that it is very individualized and require some careful experimentation and observation.

Heres a great TCM article on the phenomenon of biofilm building up inside an individual. https://classicalchinesemedicine.org/gpa/ancient-solution-modern-diseases-gu-syndrome-chronic-inflammatory-diseases-autoimmune-complications/ https://classicalchinesemedicine.org/gpa/ancient-solution-mo... But if the Chron's is happening from a poor diet/lack of exercise, that will be easier to troubleshoot. If its a candida overgrowth, https://www.humaworm.com/candida---fungi-cleanse.html https://www.humaworm.com/candida---fungi-cleanse.html but they may have parasites (see Gu article above) in which symptoms (some present in Chrons) can appear: https://www.humaworm.com/symptoms-of-parasites.html https://www.humaworm.com/symptoms-of-parasites.html They provide this formula: https://www.humaworm.com/humaworm-formula---dosing.html https://www.humaworm.com/humaworm-formula---dosing.html many other companies sell similar concoctions on amazon, but these guys seem to have the best reputation. Goodluck, everyone is unique so its not as simple as debugging a computer process haha.
