I'm sorry your son has Crohn's disease. You did nothing wrong. I don't enjoy how people immediately blame themselves or others for "eating wrong foods" when they encounter a new disease. Some diseases will be caused by diet (or viruses, or bacteria), but many others are not. Metabolic versus genetic causes. Consider Celiac's disease: genetic or metabolic? It's a genetic deficiency exacerbated by a metabolic pathway. Also watch for lactose intolerance, it's easily controlled but can cause discomfort when eating (I'm not saying your son has exclusively this, but rather in addition to).
