A member asked:
What can i do if my friend recently found out he has crohn disease, how serious is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: It is a serious illness, but with proper ongoing appropriate treatment, the symptoms can become much less intense. Sometimes the disease can go into "remission, " meaning it's not active.
