I have seen this theory referred to before. Crohn’s disease is virtually unknown in third-world countries. It has been postulated that our obsession with cleanliness in the U. S. is contributing to IBD and Crohn’s disease. The absence of natural bacteria in the intestines causes the body to attack itself. Mom was right when she said a little dirt will not kill you!
I have had Crohn’s for 22 years. It’s a bit late for me to go the worm route since I’ve had much of my “innards” removed but it’s definitely an interesting idea.
Would the yogurts that have the live bacteria help with Crohn’s symptoms?
