A friend of mine's Dad has it.  I don't know very much, but I do know that he said one of the foods that surprised me that really screws him up is popcorn. 

That isn't much help, it's just something that I thought it was odd.

My mother has Crohns [she isn't Jewish]  she takes medication for it, never had any intestines removed.  She may go to the bathroom more then the normal person but she lives her life pretty normally considering, it's not something that has stopped her from doing anything.
