“Do I have to take medications all of my life?”

The most recent question we also received was:

Are we going to have to take medication for the rest of our lives or eventually do we get to go off and if so how long till we get a flare up again.

Crohn’s Disease is a chronic disease and as of now there is no cure for the disease. Right now, yes, you are going to have to continue taking your medications regularly.

Not taking your medication can cause for Crohn’s Disease to relapse much sooner, however, each patient is different. Given how severe your disease is, it will relapse sooner and be worse.
