My 13 year old daughter showed no symptoms except weight loss and fatigue and just had colonoscopy endoscopy that showed inflammation in terminal illieum. SED rate 40 CRP 57.1 waiting to do mr enterography to see rest of small intestine then dr will discuss treatment. What do you think treatment will be?

Most traditional doctors will go straight to the medications and say diet has nothing to do with it. I was given steroids and Asacol, both of which helped me a lot.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's 16 years ago and was on medications everyday up until about 2 years ago when I stopped taking them because I felt like I no longer needed them. I started seeing an alternative medicine doctor when I had reach a point where I thought I was going to have quit working I was so sick. I was taking anywhere from 12-15 pills a day. He took me off of gluten, dairy, soy, caffine, sugar, red meat, and of course fried foods. I was allowed to eat rice, potatoes, whey, millet, flaxseed. I did this without cheating and was significantly better in 3-6 months time. After about 9 months I started introducing things back in one at a time to see what my triggers were. Now, 8 years later, I can eat about anything I want too within reason. As a rule I avoid all those things listed above completely. If I do cheat I only do it for a day or two and then make sure I have at least 5 "clean" days in a row. I had a colonoscopy about 2-3 years ago and the doctor said everything looked perfect.
Good luck!
