Can you tell me exactly when is it too late to cure crohn's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crohn's: Disease is at this point in time not curable. Best one can hope for is remission and requires ongoing medical treatment, surgery being reserved for cases that don't respond to medical therapy or have complications such as perforation, obstruction or bleeding.
