What are some good foods to help build a stronger immune system?

Of course the foods have to be crohn's friendly!

Dr. Weil has an anti-inflammatory diet on his site: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART02012/anti-inflammatory-diet. There's a number of things that don't usually mesh well with CD, but I think it's a good starting place. Dr. Frank Lipman has a number of books and resources as well.

I think avoiding processed foods, eating fish like salmon or mackerel are helpful. The spice turmeric is good for boosting the immune system too.
