Probably Not: Specific foods make you feel worse or cause more symptoms, however it should not increase the degree of inflammation.

Most likely, no: Eating certain foods might trigger more symptoms in patient's with active crohn's disease, but foods have not yet been shown to cause crohn's disease.
