My two half-brothers have Crohn's. My step-sister's two boys have Crohn's.
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.

- spondylosaurus 3y agoCrohn's has very strong genetic links, so anyone blaming it on diet is very silly :P I'm guessing your half-brothers and half-sister's kids have the HLA-B27 gene, which is the big one for autoinflammatory diseases.
- abecedarius 3y agoVery strong genetic links are not especially evidence against a dietary cause. An AND of a particular allele and a particular food would take that pattern, for example.
