A little to late for many people, one in particular A2Ker near and dear to my heart. But, researchers have found that sufferers of Crohn's are lacking a beneficial form of bacteria normally found in the intestine. The bacteria secrete an anti-inflammatory chemical which calms the organ.
Unfortunately, Crohn's seems to be a complex disease with many contributors. Hopefully further research will soon provide effective treatment of the disease.

I love the BBC's associated links! Space food (processed and easy to digest) may also help treat Crohn's.

Thanks for posting this (and tagging it nicely -- or thanks to whomever did tag -- so I could find it back). My young cousin has Crohn's and it's been causing her all sorts of problems... remembered this and just sent to her.
I've saved the link too..
been thinking about miss noddy a lot of late, and wish so much that I could share with her how much better I have been doing.
I would like to revive this thread, and keep it afloat somewhat for her, and anyone else who is fighting with Crohn's.
diet, diet, diet...
