No, sorry. No one is cured no matter what you read. Crohns has no cure. Crohns patients have remissions and these can last for years but once you are diagnosed with Crohns disease you have it forever. A simple blood test can be done on even a patient in full remission and will always show up positive for Crohns. If it were that simple all of us who suffer from Crohns would gladly eat Vegan, it would be a great alternative to not eating at all during a flare up.

Best diet for crohns disease?
Because every patient has dietary "triggers" that can exacerbate symptoms, doctors like to "start from scratch" when treating symptoms. Putting you on a bland diet can seem cruel at first but it is not forever. A bland diet means nothing spicy, everything easy to digest, low residue. Everything you eat should be non irritating to the digestion. Avoiding the following foods will be part of this but some of them can be added slowly later to see how you react. Alcohol, caffeine, spices, tannin (tea), raw fruit, raw veggies, onions, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, sausage, lunch meats, fried foods. This list is not complete but will give you an idea. Check with a dietitian for an in depth listing.
