A member asked:

Do you believe a cure for crohns will come in the next 2 decades?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Medical science is advancing quickly so it is possible there may be a cure, but there are definitely more effective treatments every year or so, as well as insights into underlying causes, so quality of life for Crohn’s patients improves all the time
