Does a low-fat diet reduce Crohn's symptoms?

Low Fat Diet from Wikipedia
"... a diet that consists of little fat, especially saturated fat and cholesterol ..."

"Nutritional and metabolic issues in inflammatory bowel disease" in Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care (2003)
"Low-fat diets, with added amounts of medium-chain triglycerides, are useful in decreasing gut inflammation in the condition. The search for the optimal dietary fatty acid composition deserves further investigations." [emphasis mine]
