I have chrohns. The diet change recommendation is something we hear often.

For me my doctor recommends a mediterranean diet and to avoid emulsifiers, but it’s definitely not a cure and not universal.

If you go look at chrohns forums you’ll see a lot of experimenting and a lot of different diets because (to my understanding) chrohns has a lot of different and unknown causes.

For me high fiber foods can put me out of commission for the next day, for others it’s the opposite.

Yeah, there was a vegan girl once who heard i ha Crohns' and just would not stop telling me to go vegan. Apparently it had helped her IBD but she seemed incapable of believing that i had tried all that and that eggs and meat were the best diet for me. High protein, high calorie. I'll eat vegetables with make but always well done. If i ate vegan I'd probably be dead in 2 weeks.
