A member asked:

Is it effective to eat pure white foods with crohn's disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No evidence: There is no evidence that starches are effective in Crohn's disease. If anything there is evidence that limiting carbohydrates can control the symptoms of Crohn's disease. For example, see the "specific carbohydrate diet".
