This 5-day diet helped Crohns patients feel better fast

A new clinical trial suggests that what people eat could finally offer real relief for Crohns disease, a condition that has long lacked clear dietary guidance. Researchers found that a fasting-mimicking diet - involving just five days a month of very low-calorie, plant-based meals - led to noticeable improvements in symptoms for most participants. Even more striking, the diet didnt just make patients feel better; it also reduced key biological markers of inflammation linked to the disease.
