My fiance who has Crohn's just saw this. It's interesting as she's been talking to groups of people online and certain probiotics were said to help. She's been taking them and it's really helped out. The study is potential good news for those who have it.
In short, they studied various people in a way to reduce influence of genetics on testing and found a correlation of 2 bacteria and 1 fungus, and Crohn's disease.

Crohn's is no joke. My sisters BF has it fairly severe. I will forward him the link.

I'd think this best in the health section of the forums. The title is overly optimistic and cause and effect far from established. Having said that, the research now really focusing on the human biome and it's impact, which is far ranging and extensive, is yielding interesting and promising findings to treatment.Originally Posted by MegademiC

Like journalists who get assigned gun articles, I am not certain this information is correct.
I don't know of any Crohn's treated by surgery. I could be wrong.

Surgery is common:
"About 23 to 45 percent of people with ulcerative colitis and up to 75 percent of people with Crohn’s disease will eventually require surgery. Some people with these conditions have the option to choose surgery, while for others, surgery is an absolute necessity due to complications of their disease."

Yup. The wife has been suffering with severe UC for almost 6 years now. She's one more failed drug away from surgery.

You might want to take a look at the LEF protocols which discusses both traditional and non approaches to this affliction:

Surgery isn't used to treat Crohn's disease and can't cure it. It's used to treat the complications of Crohn's disease. Surgery can cure ulcerative colitis but it requires removing the entire colon to do it. Most patients with ulcerative colitis will ultimately come to that conclusion.

My son has been fighting Crohn's for 18 years. He is having his second surgery tomorrow, after losing 20 pounds he did not have to lose over the last two weeks. He has been in the local hospital for 3 days with an NG tube inserted. Today his surgeon, wisely I think, had him transferred him to another hospital so a colorectal specialist can do the surgery.
The problem with resecting portions of the bowel in a Crohn's patient is that the inflammation generally comes back where the sections are rejoined.

My sisters BF has had quite a few surgeries, but they have not helped very much.
