It is reported that, there are 2 million cases diagnosed in North America. Today, scientists still do not know the cause of the disease and have no cure for it.
To help prevent and relieve the symptoms of Chron’s Disease, a diet or supplement containing Omega-3 fatty acids is recommended.
The following foods contain rich Omega-3 fatty acids:
