I recently came across this
article that may show that in this study conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA) may help patients with Crohn’s disease. CLA is a natural
fatty acid found in milk and rudimentary products. CLA can be purchased over
the counter. A study was down between
Wake Forest Medical Center and University North Carolina School of Medicine. The
study showed that the patients who took CLA showed a 50% improved in their
conditions. One problem however with the study was that it was not controlled
or randomized so no placebo was used. For me to personally use this substance I
would have to see more research to prove that it is indeed effective. I am all for creating more weapons the
patient’s arsenal against Crohn’s however there has to be peer reviewed data to
back it up. It would be interesting to see what happens in a double blind randomized
test to see what the results are.
