ADDapt trial, emulsifiers and Crohn’s disease

[petabyte]

I happened on this and thought people here may be interested. These are only preliminary results, a paper is due later this year.

This is a fabulous area of research that has long been neglected and ignored by the medical profession who have for decades ignored their patients who have told them processed food makes their Crohns worse. I only wish my parents were still alive to read this research and feel vindicated for all those years they brought their child home cooked food into hospital for a year because NHS catering switched to factory prepared ready meals which made me worse. The staff indulged them because doctors told my parents that I wouldn’t make it beyond my 20’s.

I am in my 60’s now, have three children and still avoid processed food with all their emulsifiers.

Thank you Petabyte for letting us know about this research paper.

You're very welcome. I don't have Crohn's myself but I knew someone with it and he explained what it was like. Sounded terrible, you have my sympathy.
