Crohn's Colitis and Candida

High potency “good bacteria” can keep Crohn’s and colitis in remission. (Studies were done with VSL probiotics.) There is little doubt in the mind of the medical community that intestinal bacteria are a big factor in Crohn’s and Colitis. There is also some speculation that antibodies to yeast may play a role in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
