The Specific .......: Carbohydrate diet is a a diet that may provide benefit in patients with crohn's disease. Originally used in autism, some studies suggest that this diet can help digestion and allow for some symptomatic improvement for patients with crohn's disease. Diet is very specific to the individual. One patient may tolerate fish and another may not. Pick what works best for you.
