I am not surprised. There are too many IBDers who have been helped by antibiotics for me not to suspect that it is an infectious disease. I think a promising direction for a cure would be to create an antibiotic that specifically targets Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) .

@IamCurious

Here is that antibiotic you speak of if you're interested....

RHB-104 triple antibiotics combination in culture is bactericidal and should be effective for treatment of Crohn’s disease associated with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis:
