The purpose of the study is to determine if the experimental use of an antibiotic called rifaximin for upto one year can improve the symptoms of Crohns disease (like abdominalpain and liquid/very soft stools), and if rifaximin can improve the inflammation in the intestines causedby Crohns disease. The study is trying to determine if rifaximin, unlike other medicines forCrohns disease, can do these things by having an effect on the bacteria in the intestines, and if it canreduce disease processes that are causing inflammation in the intestines.
