Millions are living with the painful symptoms of Crohn\u2019s disease, but they may find relief by eating a vegan diet.

On this episode of The Exam Room\u2122 podcast, Dr. Alan Desmond talks about the global surge of Crohn\u2019s disease that occurred as more and more people began eating the high-fat, high-calorie, and highly processed standard Western diet. Moreover, he and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss the way in which a plant-based diet can reverse the unhealthy trend and possibly even the diagnosis of Crohn\u2019s! Dr. Desmond also delves into the science behind how a high-fiber diet creates a healthy environment in the gut and shares some successful cases of patients with Crohn\u2019s who have seen dramatic improvements.
