Does vitamin C reduce Crohn's symptoms?

Vitamin C from Wikipedia

"Vitamin C treatment reduces elevated C-reactive protein" in Free Radical Biology and Medicine (2008)


"Adequacy of Nutritional Intake in a Canadian Population of Patients with Crohn’s Disease" in Journal of the American Dietetic Association (2007)
"Micronutrient intakes were suboptimal most notably for ...vitamins C....  In conclusion, in this population sample, a large number of ambulatory patients with Crohn’s disease have suboptimal dietary patterns despite a normal BMI and inactive disease. Dietary counseling and supplementation may be warranted in this patient population."
