Would the yogurts that have the live bacteria help with Crohn’s symptoms?

If I recall, the point is to elicit a type IV immune reaction which would be to fungus and worms rather than to bacteria.

I don’t know. If this theory of too much cleanliness holds up, introducing more live bacteria into an already too clean system might hurt more than help. The intestinal bacteria need something else to eat besides the intestine itself.
