Did anyone else see this article on CCFA's website?

Any thoughts? I've researched e-coli and yes, IBD does mirror some symptoms. We all have e-coli in our systems (also known as "gut flora"), but apparently the study shows that IBD patients had higher levels. I'm definitely not saying it is the "cause", but it would be an interesting new avenue of possible treatment for some patients (albeit I'm sure it will involve new wonderful tests).
Just pondering!
