Q: Gastroduodenal Crohn's Disease

I am having a difficult time finding information on gastroduodenal Crohn's Disease, such as diet and treatments. My daughter was recently diagnosed with this and there is very little information out there. She does not experience the typical symptoms related to Crohn's. She has GERD-like symptoms and vomiting. Any additional dietary information, treatment, or experiences would be great.
