Crohn's disease is an autoimmune condition.

It's managed through diet and fauna control, but it sure as heck isn't caused by bacterial imbalance.

It's also worth noting that bacterial imbalance is usually treated with gut-balanciing antibiotics, which a single course of did wonders for me when I used to suffer severe gutache nearly daily.

Articles like the one here though sound far more ideological then scientific though.

EDIT: Also worth noting, there's scant scientific evidence that probiotics do anything. Near as anyone can tell the only effective things have been antibiotics, or faecal transplants.
