Crohn's: Sure. Keep stress under control & visit your doctor for routine checkups or more often if symptoms develop.

No: I feel that everyone with documented crohn's disease(cd) should be on therapy with only a few exceptions. If your cd is at the end f the small bowel, you will likely develop a stricture without treatment. If it is in the colon only, the disease will not leave you alone. It is much easier to prevent complications by adequate treatment than to try and initiate treatment when complications occur.
