Did Dennis Kucinich suffer from Crohn's disease and cure it by eating vegan?
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.

Yes. Some studies have shown as much as a five times increased risk in the development of intestinal cancer in patients with Crohns disease as compared to the general population.
