As someone with severe Crohn's disease, I have many people that I'm close to tell me that the medication that I take is poison and I just need to change my diet to X, Y, or Z (and I'm a pretty healthy eater of normal weight!). For some reason, this disease is really misunderstood and lots of people feel free to give me their recommendations. Your kids will need to figure out to handle this often well-meaning, but entirely misplaced intervention -- and the sooner the better. It is unfortunate that your MIL is choosing to voice her opinion over this but in my experience, she won't be the only one.
