My doctor many years ago told me a small study in Frankfurt showed that all kinds of endurance sports can be very beneficial to Crohn's disease (couldn't find an English source, here is the translated German source idw-online.de/pages/de/news154679).
My (highly subjective) history of doing sport and Crohn's is that whenever I was regularly doing sport symptoms decreased and now that I am on a 3-4 days per week at least 90 min running/rowing/cycling sport schedule, my weight has gone up the first time to where it was before I was diagnosed in 1999 (even above that) and I have been in complete remission for over a year now.
I am on Aza 150mg (at 78kg body weight), iron supplements (Tardiferon 1x80mg and 80mg of dissolvable iron with Vit C), B-12 and B-6, Vit D, magnesium and zinc. I have been on Aza since 2003 (with a 2 year hiatus from 2008 to 2010 which didn't end well).
Does anyone know of any other studies or research into effects of endurance sport on Crohn's?
